Zoo council seeks new members
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.A majority of London Zoo's ruling council have said they will resign - with their departure staggered while replacements are found.
The 21-strong council - meeting to discuss its position following no confidence votes by the Zoological Society of London, the zoo's parent body - has written to fellows asking them to suggest new members. An evaluation committee is considering several plans to safeguard the zoo's future. The front-runners are a pounds 61m proposal led by David Laing, of the construction family, and a plan from the management.
