CHESTER ZOO is ready to reopen its gates on April 12, as the third coronavirus lockdown eases in England. Conservationists at the zoo say being able to finally welcome back visitors is a “big relief” as the UK’s most popular charity zoo strives to recover from an estimated £11.5m in losses caused by the pandemic. With no access to a tailored government support fund, the zoo, a registered conservation and education charity, has relied on the support of the public and its members to help it navigate several months of closure. In June 2020, during the first lockdown, more than £3m was donated to the zoo’s Save Our Zoo fundraising campaign, while its Virtual Zoo Days on its social media channels have generated 20 million views and proved a viral hit as they helped with home-schooling.
