Rare Species Conservation Centre was created in 2006. It was formerly a small children's zoo and it was taken over and renovated by a small group of people passionate about preserving the World's lesser known rare and endangered species of animal which are often overlooked in other more mainstream zoological establishments.

The Centre forms part of The Rare Species Conservation Trust which is a registered U.K. charity. Apart from running RSCC as an education and captive breeding facility, it also supports and runs various other in-situ conservation projects in the field. Further information about this work can be found in the Conservation section of our website.
