Blackpool Zoo is a family-friendly zoo with over 1,000 animals. As well as coming face to face with some of the most endangered animals on the planet, you can find out how their conservation, education, and research projects are helping species across the globe. Blackpool Zoo say they are “thrilled to be partnered with STEF in our commitment to securing the future of the Asian elephant. We believe our multi-faceted approach to elephant conservation, including through preventative medical care, pioneering research and educational programmes perfectly aligns with that of STEF’s mission, and we look forward to helping further the conservation of elephants through the partnership”.

Merry Smith, Chair of STEF says “The partnership between STEF and Blackpool Zoo has brought together likeminded people working hard for the good of the Asian elephant.  The positive impact of everything we do as individuals will be vastly increased as a result of this collaboration, which is wonderful!”
