As the largest mammal in Asia, the Asian elephant plays a crucial role in its forest ecosystem, helping to open up forest clearings and distributing seeds of trees and shrubs.
But as its habitat becomes more fragmented, the species is increasingly coming into closer contact with local communities.
ZSL is working to monitor and mitigate human-wildlife conflict in Thailand to protect this endangered elephant. Find out how you can support our conservation work: www.zsl.org/support-us
Did you know a group of tigers is called a streak?
We're calling on fearless fundraisers to unleash their wild side this August and prowl as nature intended. Sign up now and help us continue our conservation work - share this and spread the word!
Our brand new gibbon exhibit opens at ZSL London Zoo on 27th May!
Did you know that every single species of gibbon is threatened with extinction? ZSL is working to protect the Hainan gibbon - the world's rarest primate. Through using new monitoring technologies and mitigating conflicts with local communities, we're helping to develop a more secure future for this Critically Endangered primate.
Come and find out more about gibbons at ZSL London Zoo's new treehouse-style exhibit this May half term.
A summer of Soapbox Science launches this Saturday in London! The events champion the vital role of women in science and provide an exciting opportunity to meet, engage and be inspired.
ZSL’s Jenny Jaffe will be joining 11 other speakers, discussing her work as a wildlife Veterinarian working to reintroduce dormice into the wild. Visit her on the South Bank from 2pm on Saturday to find out all about her work.
An endangered spiny hill turtle has hatched at ZSL London Zoo for the first time!
The species originates from Asia, where it’s estimated that more than ten million turtles are being traded for food, traditional medicine and the pet trade each year. The husbandry research being carried out by ZSL is becoming increasingly important in guaranteeing the existence of these animals for the future. #WorldTurtleDay
Did you know that cheetahs are Africa's rarest big cat? Only an estimated 7,000 individuals are thought to survive in the wild, but they cover a vast area so monitoring populations is challenging and time consuming.
Could the answer to finding cheetahs lie with another animal? ZSL's Dr. Sarah Durant explains how conservationists are using dogs to find cats.

It's Endangered Species Day and we're LIVE at ZSL London Zoo with our Asiatic lions! Tune in to find out how ZSL is protecting the last remaining wild population of Asiatic lions #EndangeredSpeciesDay
Did you know that the pygmy three-toed sloth is the smallest and slowest in the world? It was recognised as a distinct species in 2001 and solely lives on the tiny Escudo Island, separated from mainland Panama.
With only around 100 pygmy sloths thought to be left in the wild, the species is critically endangered and monitoring is crucial to its survival.
A team of conservationists from ZSL EDGE of Existence are using new tagging technology to learn more about the sloths’ movement and behaviour to identify priority areas for conservation.
Once widespread throughout the Eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea, the unusual Angelshark has suffered severe declines over the past century, largely due to commercial fishing practices.
But in the last stronghold for this shark, the waters around the Canary Islands, a new study has been conducted to help understand more about the species.
This detailed information is vital to help conservationists like those in the Angel Shark Project work to try and save one of the world’s most threatened shark species from extinction.
The Angel Shark Project is a collaboration between ZSL, the Zoological Research Museum Alexander Koenig and the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
