CHESSINGTON CONSERVATION

In 2011, we launched the Chessington Conservation Fund to raise money to help protect the future of nature and wildlife through fundraising and conservation support. In 2024, the fund was transformed into Chessington Conservation to better reflect the wider variety of conservation work and education that we do within our zoo, the local community and worldwide.  This includes conservation education, fundraising, volunteering with local conservation projects, and onsite conservation work.​
​
Since CC was formed, it has supported many charitable organisations. Read on to find out about some of the work we have been involved in.

Amur Tiger

WILDCATS CONSERVATION ALLIANCE

Back in 2018 Chessington opened Land of the Tiger, featuring an innovative big cat enclosure with Europe’s first overhead trails that became home to endangered Amur tigers. ​With less than 500 Amur tigers left in the CC pledged to support endangered tiger conservation efforts - specifically to WildCats Conservation Alliance and a project to develop an effective human-tiger conflict resolution strategy in Northeast China, where the Amur tiger is commonly found.

WORLD LAND TRUST

The World Land Trust takes direct action to save rainforest and other wildlife habitats by purchasing land and establishing permanent wildlife reserves. CC has purchased two areas of land in Ecuador, Cazaderos and Nangaritza, in order to protect them from poaching, illegal logging, mining and poor farming methods. Every year CC sponsors two rangers to work in these reserves, monitoring and patrolling the areas.

Lisa and Colleen visited the Cazaderos Reserve in 2014 and here is a short video showing what they found.

Darwin The Hedgehog SWLT

SURREY WILDLIFE TRUST

The Surrey Wildlife Trust is the only organisation concerned solely with the conservation of all forms of wildlife in Surrey. CC currently supports this organisation as a Corporate Gold Member and works closely on projects both run and endorsed by the Trust.

Currently CC is supporting the Hedgerow Heroes Project, which will restore and protect Surrey’s hedgerows. This will enable animals, such as hedgehogs and dormice, to move and expand their populations.
