Being located in central Kent, my home county in England; I have had the pleasure of visiting Howletts wild animal park near to Canterbury on several occasions.

Howletts is not a zoo just for the endless keeping of animals in captivity.  It is devoted to the conservation of endangered species (such as mountain Gorilla) and it breeds them and later re-homes the animals back in protected environments in their home country.

We have an amazing video to share with you.

Chairman Damian Aspinall lovingly reunites his daughter Tansy with gorillas Djalta and Bims in Africa, 23 years after she met them as a baby at Howletts Wild Animal Park.

The Aspinall Foundation in conjunction with Howletts & Port Lympne Wild Animal Parks in Kent is devoted to the conservation of endangered species and returning them to protected areas in the wild.
