Highland Wildlife Park hosts first out-of-Edinburgh screening of Edinburgh Conservation Film Festival

On Saturday December 14, Highland Wildlife Park will be hosting the first out-of-Edinburgh screening of a series of short films for the Edinburgh Conservation Film Festival (ECFF). The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) won an award at the 2022 ECFF for the wildlife conservation charity’s film “Standing up for the little guys”, a short film on its successful efforts to save the pine hoverfly from extinction.

ECFF will be streaming a 90-minute, family-friendly programme of short films, all selected because they inspire and engage viewers with stories of positive conservation success. The films showcase the importance of protecting our natural world, giving us agency to make positive impacts on global biodiversity.  

The event will take place in the Learning Hive events space at Highland Wildlife Park’s new Scotland’s Wildlife Discovery Centre. Tickets are £5 each and must be purchased in advance via Eventbrite.  

Event tickets do not include entry to Highland Wildlife Park, park tickets can be purchased alongside an event ticket either on the door, or online in advance.
