Environment Minister, Thérèse Coffey will be visiting Chester Zoo later to meet staff involved in various conservation around the world.

The zoo is running a number of projects as part of the Darwin initiative - a UK Government fund that supports projects around the globe to better protect and enhance nature and biodiversity.

The Minister will get an update on the Zoo's most recent project working with Andean 'spectacled' bears in South America.
