Keeper
Wellington Zoo is a treasure, housing significant populations of animals, plants and people who are passionate about conservation, education and recreation. A magical place of learning and fun, our goal is to leave visitors with a sense of wonder and respect for nature, and a belief in the need for a sustainable co-existence between wildlife and people.
