Community engagement
By 2030, working in Scotland and across the world, we want to enable more than 100 communities to better protect nature by:
• improving the wellbeing of communities, groups and individuals through access to nature
• enabling communities, groups and individuals to enhance life skills, opportunities and wellbeing through volunteering
• using our zoos as a resource to support local initiatives and strengthen communities, harnessing the unique convening power of nature

Our Discovery and Learning team work across Edinburgh Zoo, Highland Wildlife Park and out in schools and communities across Scotland. With their support, visitors, school children, community groups and so many others have more opportunities to be closer to nature, discover more about the wild world around them and be inspired to play a part in building a better future for wildlife.
