The Living Rainforest

let's change the environment for all life

The Living Rainforest

The Living Rainforest Centre is run by the Trust for Sustainable Living. We welcome around 100,000 visitors each year, including 25,000 children on school trips. Visitors can experience the sights, sounds and smells of a lush tropical rainforest environment – and explore how plants, animals, human needs, economies and cultures are all linked. The centre is home to over 800 species of plants and animals, including rare and endangered species of global conservation value.

Our Vision

Wherever possible, we act as a sustainability demonstration centre and incorporate sustainable building materials, construction techniques and renewable energy sources into our buildings and operations. Key sustainable design projects to date include our ‘Human Impact Building’ and biomass boiler completed in 2006. We are proud of our high standards of animal welfare at the Living Rainforest centre. We ensure that our animals have the five basic freedoms for animals in captivity. We also strictly follow and go beyond BIAZA guidelines, and aim to allow animals to live as they would in the wild as far as possible.
