Education draft v2

Inspiring the next generation of conservation scientists.

Here at Auckland Zoo, one of our key intents is to inspire action for wildlife and create hope for its future - we aim to lead by example, with optimism, expertise and passion.

By connecting today's tamariki with wildlife, nature, and conservation, we can foster passion and empathy for wildlife and wild places.

Our education program has been developed with the latest wildlife conservation science in mind. We have also drawn on a wealth of education experience within the team to ensure learning experiences are engaging and informative – inspiring informed action from our younger citizens.

The New Zealand Curriculum has been carefully considered throughout this process. For more information see the curriculum links at the bottom of this page.

We look forward to welcoming you and your students.
