Members of staff from not only Drayton Manor Zoo but the park
and hotel, are taking part in The Welsh Three Peaks Challenge to raise money for the Red Panda Network who work hard to save Red Panda's in the wild.

They are hoping to smash last years target.

The Challenge

The Welsh Three Peaks totals a walking distance of 17 miles
(27.4km) and an ascent of 2334 metres (7657ft). The DMP team are aiming to climb the three peaks of Wales: Snowdon in the North, Cadair Idris in mid-Wales, and Pen y Fan in the South, in 24 hours

The Red Panda Network

Red Panda numbers are dwindling in Nepal as poaching and
illegal trade is on the rise. The Wildlife Crime Control Bureau of Nepal state
that 90% of the nation’s cases related to wildlife crime goes unreported.

The Red Panda Network’s mission is to reduce the supply and demand by:

• Exposing the illegal red panda supply chain and 
• Educating the public on why red pandas must remain alive and wild and reduce the illegal trade demand.

The Red Panda Network is an organization Drayton Manor Zoo is delighted to support the Red Panda Network through sponsored physical challenges as well as for running International Red Panda Day in the zoo to highlight the plight of wild Red Pandas. The zoo is home to two adorable Red Panda’s, Tika and Pema, who are not only part of a managed population but also act as ambassadors for their wild counterparts.

Please help by supporting our team in this throughout this
challenge whilst they help to save the Red Pandas.
