Scottish Zoo charity begins search for volunteers to come help out at its parks

Ever fancied working with one of Scotland's top wildlife parks?

Well, the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) has just relaunched its volunteering programme.

After being put on hold for two years, the wildlife charity is looking for wildlife lovers who would love to come along and help out on their various projects.

Locals are being invited to come along to summer volunteer information sessions at Edinburgh Zoo.

Run over two weekends in June and July, the sessions will provide opportunities to find out more about the many ways volunteers can make an impact every day for the zoo, local community, and the wildlife conservation charity’s worldwide efforts to save species from extinction.

Sessions will take place on June 18 and 19 and July 9 and 10.

The news comes as Edinburgh Zoo has launched a new interactive video that allows users to tour, view and meet some of the animals and zookeepers at the 82-acre attraction, without having to be on site.

The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) run-park teamed up with video producer, Colada Creative, and leading global video platform, Vimeo to create the new experience.

Virtual visitors can explore the zoo, including getting up close to fascinating exhibits such as penguins, meerkats and giraffes.
