Bristol Zoo Project, formerly known as Wild Place Project, is a wildlife conservation park in North Bristol, United Kingdom. It is run by Bristol Zoological Society (BZS) and was the sister site of Bristol Zoo Gardens until closure of that site in 2022. In summer 2023, Wild Place Project rebranded as "Bristol Zoo Project" following the transition of Bristol Zoo Gardens from their Clifton site.[3]

The park has been designed to link specific ecosystems and conservation programmes around the world,[4] and was originally intended to be split into biomes, representing species found only in specific habitats.[5] Current areas include: Bear Wood, Benoué National Park and Discover Madagascar.
