200 years of ZSL.

One unforgettable day at London Zoo.

We were honoured to welcome our Patron, HM The King, and HM The Queen to London Zoo to celebrate ZSL’s 200th anniversary.

Their Majesties joined us behind the scenes to discover how ZSL is protecting wildlife both here in the UK and around the world, from presenting our Galápagos tortoises with a special treat, to taking part in a penguin health check and training session that shows the vital role of wildlife health in conservation.

The visit also highlighted our vision for the future, including plans for ZSL’s new wildlife health centre, announced as part of our 200th anniversary year, which will help tackle some of the biggest threats facing wildlife and strengthen our ability to safeguard wildlife and humans for generations to come.

Along the way, Their Majesties explored ZSL’s rich heritage through our heritage exhibition and the story of London Zoo’s connection to the famous Winnie the Pooh at our much-loved statue, before seeing first-hand one of conservation’s great success stories.

At London Zoo’s Partula snail breeding facility, The King learned how ZSL has helped save these snails from the brink of extinction through decades of dedicated conservation work.

He also helped mark two snails with fluorescent UV paint ahead of their release into the wild this autumn, complete with a special purple dot to commemorate the Royal visit and ZSL’s bicentenary year.

Most importantly, Their Majesties met the people behind the work - the keepers, conservationists, scientists, supporters and partners whose dedication makes our mission possible every day.

As we celebrate 200 years of conservation, this visit was a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when people come together for wildlife.

Together, we can create a world where wildlife and people thrive.

Watermelon "cake"

I've made this before but it's been a while. This is AIP approved.

You'll need:

- 1 small seedless watermelon

- 2 cans of coconut cream (or three cans of coconut milk) full fat

- 1 teaspoon honey

- fruit for topping

1. Cut the top and bottom off the watermelon, enough so that the melon can sit flat on the cutting board. Start slowly carving the rind off. If you're feeling fancy, take the time to carve all the angles so the watermelon is more of a cylinder shape.

2. Cut the watermelon into three equal parts. Line a plate with paper towels and set the watermelon on it, putting it aside.

3. If you have time, I recommend refrigerating your canned coconut cream/milk. 30-45 minutes should do the trick. Scoop the top layer of coconut cream from the cans and place it in a bowl. Don't use any of the cream that is soft or liquid. The coconut cream should be hard. Some cans of coconut milk are duds and don't produce much cream. Buy an extra can of coconut cream just in case.

4. Use a whisk or a hand mixer to whip the coconut cream. Add honey or your choice of sweetener.

5. Assemble the cake: I pat the watermelon layers down with a paper towel. I have no idea if this makes a real difference but in my head it helps the coconut cream stay set longer. Add equal layers of coconut cream to the watermelon layers and decorate with your choice of fruit. Keep refrigerated until serving, and serve immediately.
