"The centre at London Zoo in Regent's Park, central London, is being funded by an anonymous donation that is the biggest in conservation charity ZSL's 200-year history. It will bring veterinary science to the public with the UK's first vet hospital viewing gallery for visitors."
"ZSL's head of wildlife health services, Dr Amanda Guthrie, said the centre would be a 'state-of-the-art facility' that would provide more space for the veterinary team and equipment, potentially housing new technology such as a CT scanner and new post-mortem areas."
"'For us, most importantly, we want visitors to get to see the work we do, we want to be transparent, we want people to really see the excellent care we provide, but then also for people to understand how important wildlife health is in the conservation space.'"
