The
Zoo that Saved the World Running
Time: 13 x 24 mins
From one of the top 10 Zoo's in the world, this is a zoo story with a
difference. It is a series that shows viewers a unique
action-orientated footage of how the Zoo plays a crucial and dynamic
role in the field in Africa.
This is a behind the scenes
look at what happens in the National Zoo where the Zoo is literally
helping to save the world. Viewers are taken on a conservation journey
showing the vital role which the Zoo and Zoo partners around the world
play in conserving endangered and threatened species.
We see how the Zoo works
to maintain populations that are extinct in the wild, as well
as, provide sanctuary for animals captured in illegal trade. It also
creates a base of genetic diversity for the future and is a
hub for advancing knowledge throughout Africa, and globally.
From rainforest to
savannah, laboratory to coral reef, through research and good science,
this documentary shows the hard work and the passion that the people of
the Zoo have.
