On the 3-year anniversary of Brexit, zoos and aquariums across Great Britain have called on Government to end the endless red tape preventing conservation breeding. / An open letter signed by over 75 zoos and aquariums calls on British Government to negotiate with the European Commission and enable the transfer of zoo animals between Britain and the EU.

An animal conservation boss has warned post-Brexit red tape delays are putting already endangered species at further risk.

Bosses warned they are being prevented from transferring animals such as rhinos and giraffes due to red tape created by the UK’s departure from the EU.
