🦍🌿 International Primate Day 2025 🌿🐒

Today we celebrate our closest relatives in the animal kingdom — primates! From gorillas and chimpanzees to lemurs and monkeys, these incredible species play a vital role in keeping our forests alive and ecosystems healthy. 🌳🌍
Yet, 60% of primates are threatened with extinction due to habitat loss, deforestation, illegal trade, and hunting.
👉 On this day, let’s raise our voices to protect them, support conservation efforts, and ensure a safer future for generations to come.
💚 Together, we can make a difference!

On Saturday, 16 August 2026, ZooClub members continued their mammal co-creator engagement with the University of Pretoria Future Africa in the development of the Bats Exhibit at the Ditsong National Museum of Natural History.

As part of this interactive project, members explored key topics such as:
• “Are Bats Like Us?”
• “Threats to Bats”
• Designing interactive displays for effective public engagement.

The session also focused on planning an exhibition aimed at educating visitors about the conservation and cultural significance of bats. Through this initiative, ZooClub members are contributing to an engaging public experience that highlights both the ecological importance of bats and their role in cultural heritage.
