Petition Action

Reconsider the decision to keep Chester Zoo closed indefinitely.

Petition Details

Apparently the government have ordered Chester Zoo to remain closed despite having put measures into place to keep safe and socially distanced. Other ticketed outdoor places are being allowed to reopen.

Additional Information

The government need to allow Chester Zoo to open safely to the public in order to keep the animals alive and well, and to continue the amazing conservation work that happens at the zoo and globally through projects. We cannot let this work be halted.
