It declared that it was heading towards a debt of over 24 million pounds by the end of 2020. Chester Zoo also needs 1.6 million pounds to keep its operations going
“Our conservationists have continued to prevent extinction, our virtual days have cheered up the nation, and our learning resources have helped thousands of home-schooling families,” the zoo said.” We wanted to remain a beacon of hope. We really tried.” If it opens, the zoo guaranteed that it can maintain social distancing in its property and keep visitors safe. Something that public parks and beaches cannot assure, said the zoo.
“We look on as, from this week, private gardens open up, while our own 128 acres of gardens and 16 of pathways remain closed, and under enormous financial pressure,” it said. “We REFUSE to cut corners when it comes to caring for the animals. We REFUSE to give up on our fight to prevent extinction.”
