This International Women’s Day, we’re proud to celebrate the incredible women who help make Banham Zoo a thriving environment for wildlife, learning, and conservation. Every day, women across our teams bring passion, expertise, and dedication to their roles, helping us care for animals, inspire visitors, and protect endangered species around the world.

From our skilled animal keepers to our experienced education team, women are at the heart of animal welfare here at the zoo. They prepare specialist diets, design enriching habitats, monitor behaviour, and support important breeding programmes for vulnerable species. Their work ensures that every animal receives the highest standard of care while contributing to international conservation efforts.

Beyond animal care, women at Banham Zoo lead the way in education and engagement. They deliver inspiring school sessions, host talks and experiences, and help connect thousands of visitors with the natural world each year. By sharing knowledge and sparking curiosity, they empower the next generation to care about wildlife and the environment.

Behind the scenes, women also play vital roles in conservation planning, marketing, operations, and leadership. Whether supporting global field projects, maintaining beautiful habitats, or shaping the future direction of the zoo, their contributions make a lasting impact both locally and internationally.

This International Women’s Day, we celebrate the dedication, resilience, and achievements of the women across Banham Zoo. Their commitment to conservation and animal care helps create a brighter future for wildlife and inspires us all to be part of positive change!
