Off the back of a successful expo in 2023, we’re excited to be hosting another in July and August this year, proudly supported by Mazda.

Our previous Wildlife Science Champions Expo was a roaring success!

In 2023, we held a conservation-science-focused careers expo, supported by our friends and partners at Mazda NZ. This was designed to inspire the next generation and enable them to discover more about careers in science and conservation.

Our conservation learning team hosted hundreds of Year 11-13 ākonga from 12 schools across Auckland to learn about a variety of science-based careers and what they entail. This included talks and stalls from industry experts that use science in their everyday mahi – everything from shark monitoring to bat artwork and all sorts in between.

We’d like to thank all the kura and schools who came along to our expo and made it such a great event!

Thanks to our partner Mazda, we were excited to run another conservation competition in 2021 and 2022, giving students from all ages an experience of a lifetime to WIN an amazing educational day out at Auckland Zoo. We encourage ākonga (students) to connect with nature, foster curiosity about the natural world and protect what they love.
