Producer Simon Daniels says, ‘We want to encourage kids to think about wildlife and the environment. The cartoons are a way of getting the messages to kids about looking after the world and also about looking after themselves. The characters promote the idea of eating well and keeping fit, giving positive messages to young viewers.’
A line of Zoo Troop merchandise is also being developed which will be directly supporting the Zoological Society of London.
‘It’s important to us that the Zoo Troop actually help to fund animal conservation,’ continued Simon. ‘The link with ZSL reinforces our commitment to support wildlife and will help children to recognise that this is not just a cartoon – it’s a very real issue.’
ZSL say, ‘We are very excited by our association with Haven Holidays and their fun and exciting new Zoo Troop merchandise range. As an animal conservation charity we rely on external support to help fund the important work that we do and hope this is the start of a long and successful partnership.”
