Animal Conservation

Animal Conservation

The re-shaping of the environment we live has provided many challenges to mankind, the animal kingdom and nature. In most cases there is simply not enough habitat left in parts of the world to support certain species. Vast areas of forest and the general advance of man into animal habitat strongholds has greatly affected animal populations.

To combat conservation issues, most of the animal attractions listed within Animal Days Out are actively involved in conservation projects, alongside many more independent organisations.

10:10 Initiative
This 10:10 campaign was started with an ideal goal of cutting carbon emissions by 10% within 2010. 6 months in and how are we doing so far? Next focus is on 10th October 2010 - help spread the word!

Palm Oil - The Facts Palm oil comes from the fruit of the Oil Palm Tree. It can be found in 1 in 10 supermarket products. It is a vegetable oil and is used in margarines, chocolate, oven chips and hundreds of other every day foods. It's also used in cosmetics and increasingly as an alternative fuel called bio-diesel.
