Since the early 1970's The Welsh Mountain Zoo, in response to the needs of wildlife conservation, has been reassessing the nature of its animal collection. This has enabled the Zoo to join some of the developing inter-Zoo co-operative breeding programmes that cover a wide range of endangered species.
Many of the programmes are endorsed by the Species Survival Commission of the World Conservation Union.
We have 12 keepers here at The Welsh Mountain Zoo who take good care of all our animals. Their duties involve cleaning out pens and cages, providing fresh bedding and water, preparing food and feeding animals, checking for signs of distress, disease or injury in animals, helping to care for sick animals, ensuring our animals participate in enrichment activities, ensuring their enclosures are safe and adequate for that animal and ensuring animals are in good social and emotional condition.
