London Zoo is marking the 200th anniversary of the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) – the conservation charity that owns and operates the zoo – with plans for a new state‑of‑the‑art wildlife health centre, funded by a £20m bequest from a mystery donor. The facility would allow visitors to observe animal medical procedures up close, including post-mortems.
BBC News’ Justin Rowlatt was given behind‑the‑scenes access to the zoo’s existing animal hospital to see what the new centre could mean for conservation, research and public engagement. The plans have also prompted debate about animal welfare and the role of modern zoos.
