Magherafelt contractor Henry Brothers Construction has been selected to deliver a new £25 million Global Conservation Centre at Twycross Zoo in Leicestershire.
The state-of-the-art facility will make a game-changing contribution to the fight against global extinction for endangered wildlife.
Attracting an £18m investment from the UK Government’s Levelling Up Fund - marking the biggest single Government grant ever given to a UK zoo - the Global Conservation Centre will be dedicated to advancing global conservation solutions.
It is being developed by UK conservation charity Twycross Zoo, in partnership with Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council, and a number of the UK’s leading universities.
It will not only act as a hub for the zoo’s expanding global conservation work, cutting-edge scientific research, and education programmes, but also, a community space to inspire, train and facilitate the next generation of conservation leaders under one roof.
