Welcome Note
Welcome and thank you for reading this brief overview of UKopia.
UKopia is a concept in Wildlife Park focusing heavily on innovation,
conservation, immersion and interaction. It has been created to find the
best solution for a number of problems:
Declining population of UK species
Poor quality and ineffective zoos / wildlife parks in UK
Sub-standard viewing of animals in UK zoos due to cages
Lack of large visitor attractions in Salford / Greater Manchester
Lack of public UK wildlife knowledge
No focus within UK zoos for protection and conservation of UK wildlife
Poor education function at UK zoos (lack of interest)
Lack of innovation in the UK zoo market
Wildlife, business and family are my passion in life. UKopia is a project
that must be delivered - for the right reasons. It works and it will make a
difference.
