This Hogmanay, we're asking residents in our local area to refrain from setting off fireworks, following the death of our red panda kit Roxie on bonfire night.

As always, we will do all we can to protect our animals from fireworks, including keeping them indoors and providing deep bedding where possible to reduce the impact of the noise.

@Edinburgh_CC cannot create a fireworks exclusion zone around the zoo in time for Hogmanay due to the minimum consultation period required, so we are asking residents to help us by not setting off fireworks which may frighten animals.

Thank you 💛

We are calling for tighter restrictions on fireworks following the death of Roxie, our endangered red panda kit, on bonfire night.

Our expert vet team believe it's likely that three-month-old Roxie died due to stress caused by fireworks in the local area.

It's #WorldCassowaryDay and we're celebrating these rainforest nourishers. They're the only species carrying large seeded rainforest fruits over long distances. So they're fulltime workers on #biodiversity in our rainforests!

It's long been a question: could all of humanity actually live within the Doughnut? Thanks to Hauke Schlesier et al it's just been quantified for the 1st time. And the answer is probably yes - if we transform to economies of sufficiency. Read more here: https://t.co/aZjcj1TQ0P
