Conservation and approach

It joined the European breeding programme network in 2015 and runs four EEPs, for African elephant, spectacled bear, siamang and white-headed vulture, along with European studbook roles for cotton-top tamarin and Asian box turtle. Its elephant programme is a males-only group, housing bulls until breeding opportunities arise.
