How is Marwell protecting native species?
Marwell isn’t just home to endangered and rare animals from around the world – we’re also working to protect species that live here in the UK.
For over 30 years, Marwell Wildlife have been breeding and re-releasing sand lizards, one of the UK’s rarest reptiles. We also care for Eelmoor Marsh, a 195-acre Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), which is home to over 400 species and is one of the UK’s longest-running rewilding projects.
Visit the new UK Native Species Zone from Tuesday 25 March 2025 to discover more of our work.
Explore the zoo
Let off steam on our playgrounds, take a ride on the road train, and of course, see our resident animals! Don’t forget to download our app to check our daily animal feed times and plan your day.
Every visit helps support our conservation work, both here at the zoo and around the world.
