00:27May to highlight the role zoos can play in conservation, education and protection of

00:33endangered species. Through activities on site, the zoo is focusing attention on critically

00:39endangered animals including white-headed vultures, ring-tailed lemurs and southern white rhinos,

00:46species under growing threat in the wild due to the habitat loss, poaching and climate change.

00:53Let's find out more from Bristol World. Interactive trails and educational talks are

01:00designed to engage visitors with the challenges facing wildlife and the importance of global

01:06conservation efforts. While some campaigners have raised ethical questions about the role of zoos,

01:11many organisations argue that modern conservation zoos contribute to breeding programmes, public

01:17awareness and funding for wildlife projects around the world. All Aboard Watersports, located in Bristol's

01:24Floating Harbour, is a charity dedicated to making watersports accessible to everyone regardless of its

02:20individuals from underrepresented groups access water sport. A new photographic exhibition at Southmead

02:27Hospital is marking five years since the UK's first COVID lockdown, offering a visual and written

02:34reflection on a period that shaped the lives of millions. Captured by Bristol-based photographer,
