Conservation

At Manor Wildlife Park conservation begins with understanding the connections between wildlife, people and the natural world.

Conservation is at the heart of everything we do.

Wildlife faces increasing pressures from human activity, including habitat loss, climate change, pollution, unsustainable resource use and invasive species. These challenges are affecting species and ecosystems across the world, but they also highlight an important role for people: protecting nature requires understanding the impact we have and the actions we can take.

As a modern wildlife park, we believe our role in conservation extends far beyond caring for animals. Through responsible animal management, conservation breeding, research, education, partnerships and protecting biodiversity on our own site, we contribute to efforts that support wildlife both locally and globally.

The animals at Manor Wildlife Park provide opportunities to learn about threatened species, the challenges they face and the conservation work taking place to protect them. By working alongside other zoos, conservation organisations and researchers, we support wider efforts to safeguard species and their habitats.

Conservation also begins close to home. Manor Wildlife Park is located in Pembrokeshire, an area with a rich variety of habitats and wildlife, including coastal environments, grasslands, woodlands, wetlands and Hethlands. Like many areas across the UK, these habitats face increasing pressures from changes in land use and biodiversity loss, making the protection and restoration of local nature increasingly important.

Through managing our habitats, protecting native species and working with local partners, we support biodiversity across the park and create spaces where local wildlife can thrive. By supporting nature locally, we contribute to the wider effort to restore ecosystems and protect the species that depend on them.

Education is a key part of our conservation role. We believe that protecting wildlife requires more than awareness alone; it requires people to understand the relationships between species, habitats and the natural world. By helping visitors develop a deeper understanding of nature, we hope to encourage informed choices and meaningful action.

Every visit to Manor Wildlife Park helps support this work. Whether you are discovering endangered species from around the world, learning about local wildlife or simply connecting with nature, your support allows us to continue contributing to conservation.

Understanding our place in nature is the first step towards protecting it.
