HELP US SAVE LONDON'S WILDLIFE
The River Thames is London’s hidden wildlife secret. Did you know that the murky brown waters are hiding porpoises, seals and seahorses alongside cockney eels and smelt – the fish that smells of cucumber.
At ZSL we’ve been working tirelessly since 2004 to improve the ecology and biodiversity of the Thames estuary and protect and better understand the species found here.
Declared biologically dead in the 1950’s, thanks to the work of ZSL, our partners and volunteers, the River Thames is now a hub of life – and a shining example of how wildlife can be brought back from the brink.
But there’s lots of work still to do, and the Thames needs all of us to ensure a future for its amazing wildlife.
By giving a one-off or regular donation to our conservation work, you could help to support the native wildlife in our capital city, as well as countless other threatened species around the world. Please donate to support wildlife today.
