The gates may be closed, but Chester Zoo is still doing all it can to prevent extinction. From conservation at the zoo with 35,000 animals, to helping wildlife organisations across the world to manage the impact of this global crisis, Chester Zoo is determined not to let coronavirus stand in the way of its vital mission. 

We have chosen 30 endangered animals and plants that have a connection to the zoo and our conservation programmes and each day for 30 days we will be drawing, painting, knitting, making that animal and sharing our creations with you. We hope you'll see our artistic talents developing over the month (fingers crossed) and share in our passion for wildlife!

At such a time of crisis and uncertainty for everyone, we have chosen to raise funds for Chester Zoo to continue preventing extinction.Together, we can act for wildlife.
