It's BIAZA #LoveYourZooWeek and #LoveYourAquariumWeek, and what better way to celebrate than by highlighting the incredible conservation role of zoos and aquariums! New data released by BIAZA shows that their members have contributed £153 million to nature conservation in the last five years supporting species from tiny British harvest mice to the chimpanzees of Uganda. 💚👏 (fb)

🌿 It’s Botanic Gardens Week! Organised by our friends at Bganz, this year’s theme – Guardians of the Green: Protecting our Future – shines a spotlight on the vital conservation work of botanic gardens across Australia and New Zealand. Just as zoos protect endangered animals, botanic gardens are ‘zoos for plants’ – safeguarding rare and threatened species for future generations, while connecting people with the natural world. 🌱 At Species360, we understand the power of global collaboration. Botanic gardens, like zoos, are part of a worldwide network – sharing species, research, and knowledge to fight extinction and preserve biodiversity. 🌍 Thank you to BGANZ and its member gardens for everything you do! 👏 Hortis by Species360 📸 Image credit: Coffs Harbour Botanic Garden (fb)
