The donation provided by Pragmatic Play will support the park following the new North American turtle initiative. This includes funding the refurbishment of turtle ponds that seek running, filtered water for the health and cleanliness of all animals including the outdoor spaces where they reside.
In addition to tropical species, the wildlife park boasts three species of North American turtle - the common snapping turtle, map turtles, and yellow-bellied sliders. The latter sort can live more than 70 years.
One of the main purposes of the AWCP is the maintenance of threatened species in the wild as well as the participation in global conservation projects to guarantee their survival. Thanks to the breeding programs, they also want to have an essential role in the global effort to conserve rare species and those at-risk groups.
Commenting on this milestone, Julian Jarvis, CEO at Pragmatic Play, said:
“As the only wildlife park in Gibraltar, the AWCP fulfills a crucial part in the protection of rare animal species, and we’re extremely proud to be able to support the restructuring of its outdoor spaces and turtle ponds.
“Up to four species of the turtle will be housed in a specious pond in a prominent area of the park thanks to our donation, and we look forward to establishing new ways to support the conservation group moving forward.”
