What do zoos do to protect wildlife? How do the different jobs at ZSL help with this goal?
In Jobs at the Zoo, students will learn about the threats facing wildlife, and the role of zoos in protecting them. Each week, students will be introduced to a new job role at the zoo, all working for wildlife. They’ll learn about the purpose of the role, then take part in a hands on activity to gain first-hand experience of work.
