"The Wildlife Health Centre facility aims to bring together advanced veterinary care, scientific research, professional training, and public engagement under one roof."
"With the keeping of animals in captivity increasingly questioned, the Zoological Society of London hopes the new centre will help demonstrate the enduring value of its conservation work."
"Our history has shaped how wildlife is studied, treated and protected. Now, that legacy becomes a platform for action."
"The role of modern zoos remains contested: they argue they play a vital role in conservation, while critics question the ethics of keeping wild animals in captivity."
A new animal hospital at London Zoo, funded by a £20m anonymous donation, will allow visitors to observe live veterinary procedures. This facility aims to combine advanced veterinary care, research, training, and public engagement. It will also study disease transmission from animals to humans. The hospital builds on a legacy of veterinary innovation at the zoo, which began in 1829. The centre is designed to enhance public understanding of veterinary science and serve as a training hub for wildlife veterinarians.
