Shaldon Wildlife Trust
Golden lion tamarins, fat-tailed dwarf lemurs, Madagascan giant jumping rats: just some of the species you will find at Shaldon Wildlife Trust. The small zoo, set in a secluded acre of woodland on the hillside above Shaldon, looks after and preserves some of the rarest and most endangered animals known to man. For only £18, a family can immerse themselves into the lush semi-tropical planting and learn about anything from yellow-breasted capuchins to Azara’s agoutis. As a small zoo, Shaldon Wildlife Trust does focus on smaller animals, and, if anything, this has enhanced their reputation among the wildlife elites. Shaldon is now considered one of the best zoos in the UK for the conservation of critically endangered primates. The reserve is also the smallest member of the British Association of Zoos and Aquaria (BIAZA and EAZA). With only 3 paid staff, and an almost total dependence on their 40+ volunteers and students, this is no mean feat for the Wildlife Trust.
