Woburn Safari Park's Conservation mission

Woburn Safari Park is an expansive wild animal park home to hundreds endangered, exotic and native animals living in 360 acres of Bedfordshire parkland.

Our mission is to help protect the long term future of vulnerable animal species by making a direct contribution to in-situ and ex-situ conservation projects. This is done by generating funds for animal charities working to protect habitats and species in the wild; through educating visitors and the public; raising awareness of conservation issues and involvement in endangered animal breeding programmes.

We are also committed to native species conservation through direct action and sustainable use of resources.

Projects we support

Our mission is to help protect the long-term future of vulnerable animal species by making a direct contribution to in-situ and ex-situ conservation projects.

One way in which this is done is by generating funds for animal charities working to protect habitats and species in the wild. The team at the Park supports a number of conservation projects aimed at helping the wild populations of animals including elephants, rhinos, bongos, lemurs, and tigers, among others. The team at the park also host various charity events throughout the year giving you the chance to get involved and raise money for charity. You can see what's on by checking the news and events page.
