“This week we launched our Christmas gift guide, which is filled with great ideas for your loved ones, young and old, animal-lover or not,” says Elaine Bensted, CEO of Zoos SA.

“What people might not realise is every time they purchase a product or experience from us, it not only provides a special someone with a fabulous gift but supports the conservation of wildlife both in Australia and around the world.

“We have a huge range of experiences, products and gifts, from fun stocking fillers to once-in-a-lifetime experiences, so there really is something for everyone.

“And a present from Zoos SA really is a gift in more ways than one, with funds from every purchase contributing to crucial breeding programs that have seen endangered animals such as the Greater Bilby, Przewalski’s Horse and Orange-bellied Parrot released back into the wild.”
