About Knowsley Safari
ABOUTABOUT THE KNOWSLEY KNOWSLEY SAFARI ESTATE Knowsley Safari is situated within the grounds of the Knowsley Estate. Animals and discovery have always been at the heart of the Estate – even before the safari park was ever created. Edward Smith Stanley, the 13th Earl of Derby, founding member of the Zoological Society of London and president for 20 years, built up a huge collection of birds, mammals and fish from around the world, many of which had never been seen in Britain before. At the time, Lord Derby’s private zoo became the largest and most important of its type in Britain and when he died, his menagerie was as big as 28 bird species and 94 animal species – and an impressive 756 animals bred at Knowsley. In October 1970, nearly 120 years later, the 18th Earl of Derby got permission to build a 346-acre wildlife and game reserve on part of the Estate. The first in the North of England and the first in a big city. Knowsley Safari Park opened in 1971 and quickly became one of the North West’s leading attractions, with new exhibits and the extension of the safari drive to 5 miles in 1973. In 1994, the 19th Earl of Derby took over and increased the visitor numbers and stepped-up participation in worldwide endangered species breeding programmes. Over the past few years, discussions have been underway to change the safari park as we know it now within the ‘Master Plan’. This includes ideas around new animal habitats, a visitor hub, better facilities for guests in the winter months, with attractions and adventure which enable us to be open more days throughout the year.

An Investigation Into the Determining Factors of Zoo Visitor Attendances in UK Zoos
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by PubMed Central An Investigation into the Determining Factors of Zoo Visitor Attendances in UK Zoos Andrew William Whitworth1,2* 1 University of Glasgow; Institute of Biodiversity, Animal Health & Comparative Medicine; College of Medical, Veterinary & Life Sciences, Glasgow, United Kingdom, 2 The CREES Foundation, London, United Kingdom Abstract The debate as to which animals are most beneficial to keep in zoos in terms of financial and conservative value is readily disputed; however, demographic factors have also been shown to relate to visitor numbers on an international level. The main aims of this research were: (1) To observe the distribution and location of zoos across the UK, (2) to develop a way of calculating zoo popularity in terms of the species kept within a collection and (3) to investigate the factors related to visitor numbers regarding admission costs, popularity of the collection in terms of the species kept and local demographic factors. Zoo visitor numbers were positively correlated with generated popularity ratings for zoos based on the species kept within a collection and admission prices (Pearson correlation: n = 34, r = 0.268, P = 0.126 and n = 34, r = 20.430, P = 0.011). Animal collections are aggregated around large cities and tourist regions, particularly coastal areas. No relationship between demographic variables and visitor numbers was found (Pearson correlation: n = 34, r = 0.268, P = 0.126), which suggests that the popularity of a zoo’s collection relative to the types and numbers of species kept is more indicative of a collection’s visitor numbers than its surrounding demographic figures.

Whipsnade Is Â Team Jacobâ
PRLog - Global Press Release Distribution Whipsnade is ‘Team Jacob’ ZSL Whipsnade Zoo has introduced some new blood to its adoption scheme for Halloween, with a storybook-inspired mystical animal…Jacob the wolf. Oct. 22, 2010 - PRLog -- Named after the Native-American werewolf character in Stephanie Meyer’s ‘Twilight’ series, Whipsnade’s Jacob may not be a mythical creature (that we know of…) but he is eerily similar to his Twilight namesake with his boyish charms and loyal personality. Part of the pack of European grey wolves that call the Zoo home, Jacob the wolf is the alpha-male of the group, with his very own ‘Bella’ in the form of the beautiful female Ophelia. Luckily at Whipsnade he has no vampires to compete with – but he still enjoys asserting his dominance with his impressive howling skills… ‘Twi-hards’ will love the opportunity to adopt their very own Jacob, which will be on sale from Monday 25 October. For the great value price of £24, adopters get a free ticket to visit ZSL Whipsnade Zoo to see him, a subscription to ZSL’s Wild About magazine and regular email updates from Jacob’s keepers. As ZSL Whipsnade Zoo is part of the Zoological Society of London, an international animal conservation charity, adopters of Jacob will be helping to support wildlife around the world. - ENDS - Notes to Editors For more information please contact Rebecca Smith at [email protected] or on 0207 449 6236 High resolution images are available on request B-Roll footage available on request Howling sound effects available on request ZSL Founded in 1826, the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) is an international scientific, conservation and educational charity: our key role is the conservation of animals and their habitats.

Dunstable and the Surrounding Area
Dunstable and the surrounding area Excellent transport links between St. Pancras and Luton Parkway railway stations means Dunstable is easily reached from London. Excellent road links mean Cambridge is easily accessible and Luton Airport puts Dunstable in touch with cities from all over Europe Dunstable is the oldest charter town in Bedfordshire and is currently home to approximately 36,000 residents, who regularly elect their own Town Council and Central Bedfordshire Council representatives to manage local affairs. Dunstable is fiercely proud of its rich heritage yet, whilst it may be steeped in history, it is very much a town in the present, working towards a bright future. The Grove theatre which opened in 2007 provides Dunstable with a 780-seat purpose built arts and entertainment centre. The development which includes accompanying bars and restaurants overlooking the beautiful re-landscaped Grove House Gardens, provides a striking heart to the cultural identity of the area and a venue for a variety of events. Priory House Heritage and Tourist Information Centre also offers a full programme of entertainment and exhibitions as well as an insight into Dunstable’s amazing past. ZSL Whipsnade Zoo, formerly known as Whipsnade Wild Animal Park, is a zoo and safari park located at Whipsnade, near Dunstable in Bedfordshire. It is one of two zoos that are owned by the Zoological Society of London, a charity devoted to the worldwide conservation of animals and their habitats. Neighboring Luton is the home to Stockwood Park Discovery Centre and Wardown Park and Museum both of these are well worth a visit and are accessible by public transport.
