Bristol Zoological Society
Mission statement
Bristol Zoological Society (BZS) is a conservation and education charity, which runs and operates Bristol Zoo Gardens and the Wild Place Project.
BZS aims to identify and implement sustainable solutions to species and ecosystem conservation challenges through research, action and local collaboration. BZS carries out field conservation programmes in five continents across the world and research programmes both in the field and at Bristol Zoo Gardens.
BZS is working with Philippine locals to establish a value in conserving species and the habitats they live in. The flagship species for the BZS’s work in the Philippines are the bleeding heart doves. Out of the five species of bleeding heart doves in Philippines, three are critically endangered (Negros, Sulu and Mindoro).
