A new €30m investment proposal looks set to see Cork’s Fota Wildlife Park become one of Europe's top 10 wildlife parks for species conservation over the next decade.

As part of its newly-announced 2030 Vision plan, Fota will expand its number of species breeding programmes and habitats, and continue its commitment to animal care, welfare and conservation.
