Emirates Park Zoo & Resort in Abu Dhabi to support rescue and rehabilitation of endangered animals in Cambodia

Abu Dhabi – April 10, 2024: Emirates Park Zoo & Resort (EPZR), a premier destination for wildlife enthusiasts in the UAE, has reinforced its commitment to global wildlife conservation through a strategic partnership with Wildlife Alliance. Established in early 2024, the partnership supports the Phnom Tamao Wildlife Rescue Centre (PTWRC) in Cambodia, which focuses on the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of wildlife affected by illegal trade and habitat destruction.

Since the beginning of 2024, Wildlife Alliance’s work at PTWRC has led to the rescue of over 550 animals, including two elephant calves with remarkable stories of survival, as well as pangolins and other vulnerable species. EPZR’s support extends beyond direct rescue efforts through its “Made in the Zoo” merchandise initiative, where a percentage of proceeds contributes to Wildlife Alliance’s conservation work in Cambodia.
