Help to build our gorilla troop their new home with a bespoke engraved plaque in our new habitat, African Forest!
African Forest is the first habitat to be built as part of the new conservation zoo development at Bristol Zoo Project.
This will be the new home for Bristol’s much-loved troop of Critically Endangered western lowland gorillas; Jock, Touni, Kera, Kala, Afia, Ayana, and toddlers, Hasani and Juni.
They will be joined by Endangered cherry-crowned mangabeys in a UK zoo first for the two species.
African Forest will also become home to Critically Endangered slender-snouted crocodiles, Endangered African grey parrots and several extremely threatened species of West African freshwater fish, which visitors will be able to see in a special underwater viewing area. There will also be a learning and education space for all to enjoy.
Dedicate a bespoke, engraved plaque with a message of your choice to enjoy every time you visit the African Forest habitat.
Why not dedicate your plaque to someone special in your life? It could be a unique gift, a sustainable birthday present, or a lasting way to remember a loved one.
Each plaque accommodates a message of up to 24 characters per line, with three lines in total, and you can also choose to receive a bespoke certificate of support.
All donations made to our African Forest appeal will go towards the creation of our African Forest habitat. If we are fortunate enough to meet our appeal target of £100,000, all donations over this amount will be put towards Bristol Zoological Society's conservation work, so you can be sure your donation is going where it is most needed.
The latest news about African Forest
A trio of African grey parrots have hatched at Bristol Zoo Project after their parents were rescued from the illegal pet trade.
From posturing to vocalisations and even dressing up, there are many ways our gorillas choose to display their mood and emotions.
Plaques will be installed in the African Forest habitat at Bristol Zoo Project following build completion in 2026.
Each plaque accommodates a message of up to 24 characters per line, with three lines in total.
Bristol Zoological Society retains ownership of the plaque and reserves the right to relocate the plaque at any time and for any reason.
