Turtle Dove Restoration Project
about
Partners: Natural England
Turtle Doves (Streptopeliaturtur) are one of the UK’s most threatened bird species, with numbers declining due to habitat loss. ZSEA is collaborating with the RSPB through Operation Turtle Dove to enhance suitable habitats at Banham Zoo and Africa Alive.
By planting wildflower meadows that attract these migratory birds, the project aims to encourage breeding and contribute to their conservation.
