Drumroll please... 🥁🥁🥁 Local Conservation Grants are now open for 2025!

Thanks to the support of our community who contribute to the Wellington Zoo Partners in Conservation Fund, each year we offer local conservation grants for projects and programmes that aim to protect and enrich native wildlife and wild places 🦎🌼🐧🌳

Know a local conservationist who’s working to save endangered sea life? Or a wildlife enthusiast getting their community involved in trapping stoats to protect native birds? Share this post so they can throw their hat in the ring!

Check out our website for all the details and instructions on how to apply 👇👇

Last year, we worked with Love Rimurimu Kura Kelper to support seaweed planting and monitoring, He Kōtare Native Nursery to fund a back up power supply for nursery irrigation, and Ngahere Korowai and Predator Free New Zealand Trust to provide necessary gear and equipment. We also assisted 2 Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington students in their studies to help protect urban kākā and improve Lizard conservation in Aotearoa.

We’re so proud to support these incredible causes to undertake conservation action and help make our planet a better place, project by project 🌏 We can’t wait to see who will be next!

*applications are open for projects and programmes in the Wellington Region and Chatham Islands only.

The Chimps’ dayroom is getting a refresh! 🐒☀️

A little bit of interior design is going on in the Chimps’ habitat to spruce up their indoor enrichment structures. Teams from all around the Zoo have swung by to help weave fire hose onto the Chimps' new hammock frames for them to swing and climb on.

Don’t worry, you’ll still be able to spot the Chimps while the refresh is happening, as they'll be hanging around (literally) in the Bedrooms and outdoor space as per usual! 🙊

The Zoo is a living and breathing organism, always changing and rearranging, and we appreciate your patience while we make sure the habitats are s***k and span for our favourite troop.

We can’t wait to see the new Dayroom in action with the help of MJH Engineering and Naylor Love - Watch this space! 👀
