Zoos Victoria's priority international conservation regions are South-east Asia, Papua New Guinea and sub-Saharan Africa. The challenges for conservation in these regions are extreme.
We work with local communities, governments and NGOs to mitigate threats to wildlife, develop sustainable alternative livelihoods, and foster community and government support for conservation.
By focusing on a select number of priority programs and developing close in-country partnerships, we ensure that our contributions have a significant effect, acheiving sustainable long-term outcomes for biodiversity.
