The zoo’s commitment to promoting thriving, healthy forests is reflected in its longstanding partnership with the FSC. Te Nukuao Wellington Zoo not only stocks numerous FSC-certified products in their Zoo Shop but also uses FSC-certified and recycled materials for constructing animal habitats and other structures throughout the zoo. This dedication underscores their mission to support sustainable forestry practices and encourage conservation efforts.
Since earning their FSC Promotional Licence Holder status in April 2018, Te Nukuao Wellington Zoo has been at the forefront of educating the public about the significance of the FSC label. They actively encourage visitors to look for the FSC check tree label on a wide range of forest-based products, including toilet paper, books, furniture, and more.
By placing this informative video at the chimpanzee enclosure, the zoo aims to reach a broad audience, fostering greater awareness and action towards sustainable forestry. The video highlights the critical role that FSC-certified products play in preserving forest ecosystems and supporting responsible forest management.
