Conservation experts of the future
The Amazon environment is recreated in the tropical biome at the new Zoological Education Centre which is where Eve and others learn the skills to help them become the conservation experts of the future, working on breeding programmes with rare species.
Said Shuttleworth Trust member Mike Johnston, the former Principal of the Shuttleworth College: “The Trustees were delighted to support this student in her travels. It is exactly what the fund was set up by Cissie Kirby, who was a companion of Dorothy Shuttleworth who gifted the Shuttleworth Estate for the education of young people in farming, land-based learning and animal welfare work.
“It is more relevant than ever before. We hope that more students from Shuttleworth will come forward with ideas of how they can benefit from a grant to expand their education and life experiences.”
