What colour is a Giraffe’s tongue? How can you tell gorillas apart? Want to know the answers to these questions and more?

This summer along with our Sustainability Partners, Dublin Zoo, we’re bringing the excitement of wildlife and conservation into homes nationwide with For Our World; a series of interactive and fun online learning adventures, featuring renowned wildlife photographer Mike Brown and the animals from Dublin Zoo.

Tune in every 2 weeks for a new episode packed full of unique facts and information about the animals at Dublin Zoo and the conservation programmes they support, as well as plenty of inspiration to explore Ireland’s natural world.

Throughout the series, wildlife photographer Mike Brown will set mini challenges to get you out exploring your local area and learning more about conservation and biodiversity.
