He angitūtanga: The opportunity
They say never work
with children or animals. Well, here you can do both!

recognised as one of the most progressive zoos in the world. A winner of
national and international environmental-related awards, it is home to 126
different species and over 1,000 animals.
Auckland Zoo's New Zealand precinct - Te Wao Nui is a journey through
six geographic zones and the flora and fauna of each. The focus on native species provided by Te
Wao Nui catalyses many opportunities for the zoo to contribute to the
conservation of New Zealand wildlife, both directly and indirectly.

programmes to schools and community visiting groups.

and deliver learning programmes to predominantly primary aged children visiting
