Join me as I return to the Wild Place at Bristol which will be become the new home of Bristol Zoo in Earl 2024 featuring meerkats, gelada baboons, reticulated giraffes, wolverines, , eurasian lynx, grey wolves, brown bears and so much more.
Wild Place Project is a wildlife conservation park in South Gloucestershire, United Kingdom. It is run by the Bristol Zoological Society (BZS) and was the sister site of Bristol Zoo until closure of that site in 2022.
The Park has been designed to link specific ecosystems and conservation programmes around the world, and was originally intended to be split into biomes, representing species found only in specific habitats. Current areas include: British Ancient woodland, Benoué National Park and Discover Madagascar.
Bristol Zoo announced on 27 November 2020 that its historic main centre in Clifton would close, with animals moved to the Wild Place Project site close to the M5 motorway. In early 2024 the Wild Place Project would become the new Bristol Zoo and be home to new exhibits:
Western lowland gorilla, Collared mangabey, African grey parrots, Slender-snouted crocodiles will be in a new central African rainforest area.
The Eastern black rhinoceros and Ostrich would join the Giraffe, Zebra, Eland, Red river hog and Cheetah in the Benoue National Park area.
