Zoological Society of London Corporate Membership
Who we are The Zoological Society of London is a charity devoted to the worldwide conservation of animals and their habitats. It's a challenging mission, but with your help we are in a unique position to save our planet's stunning and diverse wildlife. From running field projects in over 50 countries to inspiring future conservationists at our two world-famous zoos, ZSL's approach is wide-ranging. At any given moment we might be simultaneously mapping deep-sea vents, advising a government on carbon reduction, and explaining what penguins eat to a class of schoolchildren. Since Sir Stamford Raffles established the society in 1826, ZSL has been a centre for some of the world's foremost scientists and animal experts. Fellows through the years have included Charles Darwin, Humphry Davy, Desmond Morris and David Attenborough.
Why support ZSL? ZSL corporate membership is an ideal way to show your commitment to sustainability, conservation and education. Your money will help protect wild animals and their habitats. Support our mission and we will recognise your contribution across our communication channels, in our annual report, on our website and in member communications. You can use our imagery and logo to substantiate your commitment to the environment. You'll also bring responsible practices to life for your employees and stakeholders, and foster a culture where conservation matters. Issues like habitat loss are suddenly more compelling after a face-to-face encounter with an endangered Sumatran tiger...
