Combining decades of real-world management experience with cutting-edge welfare science, applied ethology, and evidence-based processes, Care for the Rare is at the forefront of animal-centred design and innovation. We lead the way in redefining welfare standards through advanced welfare priority assessments, comprehensive welfare evaluation tools, and, where appropriate, the deployment of interactive technologies that empower animals to thrive in human care.
Our expertise extends to masterplanning and business development, ensuring facilities are designed to achieve the highest welfare capabilities within the framework of a sustainable and resilient business model. We have successfully supported the creation of multiple new zoo and sanctuary developments, offering strategic guidance and actionable solutions across every stage—from concept to execution, business modelling to facility development.
Our science-based innovation de-risks development by ensuring facilities satisfy fundamental welfare needs, creating resilient solutions that align with evolving standards and societal expectations. Whether redefining welfare priorities, designing innovative facilities, or crafting sustainable business strategies, we bring unparalleled experience and forward-thinking approaches to every project.
