World Rivers Day is Coming – 27 September 2026!

This World Rivers Day, we're celebrating the flowing heartbeats of our planet and the incredible wildlife that depends on them. Founded by conservationist Mark Angelo, this annual event reminds us why freshwater ecosystems matter – from the tiniest riverine creatures to the magnificent animals you'll spot at UK zoos. Join the global movement to champion better stewardship of our rivers and discover how zoos are working to protect the species that call these vital habitats home.
