Dublin Zoo has launched its ambitious conservation "master plan" which it hopes will establish the zoo as one of the best in the world for caring for endangered animals
The zoo is currently home to over 400 animals from around the world. In October 2021, they launched an ambitious 10-year strategic plan under “Dublin Zoo 200”, which aims to position Dublin Zoo as a global conservation leader.
The zoo has identified 42 actions across seven areas that they will take over the next decade. The next steps for the zoo will include increasing the number of animal species that are part of conservation breeding programmes and to set up Ireland’s first National Wildlife Biobanking Hub that will collect and preserve samples from the Irish zoos and native Irish wildlife.
