London Zoo in the black
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.London Zoo yesterday announced it had staved off extinction and clocked up a pounds 1m surplus.
Just six years after it faced closure, with annual losses of pounds 4.5m, the zoo has never looked healthier. Bears will return at Easter for the first time in 10 years, and a pounds 4.4m millennium project, showing how animals fit into their environment, is under way. Other improvements include pounds 1m for breeding facilities for hippos and elephants at London Zoo's sister, Whipsnade Zoo.
