Twycross Zoo invites MP Dr Luke Evans for further discussions on protecting large zoos
CEO of Twycross Zoo, Dr Sharon Redrobe OBE invited MP, Dr Luke Evans to Twycross Zoo today to thank him for his continuous support throughout the Covid-19 lockdown.
Dr Redrobe OBE and Dr Evans also discussed continuing to work together to lobby to government on the vital support needed for large zoos.
Twycross Zoo re-opened its gates to the public on Monday, however, it is still at risk of extinction, and intervention from the government is 'needed urgently' to provide funding to protect its future.
The attraction was closed for 83 days, the longest period in its 57-year history.
Speaking about the visit, Dr Redrobe OBE, said: “We are really pleased that MP Dr Luke Evans could visit Twycross Zoo and we appreciate all of his support throughout these unprecedented times.
"It is great news that Twycross Zoo is now back open, after we were initially told that zoos were going to be closed indefinitely.
