add palm oil to their chocolate, Auckland Zoo made the decision to pulling the company's products from its shops, restaurant and animal feed because of the damage palm oil production does to rainforests in south east Asia, home to animals such as the sumatran tiger and orangutan. The decision, backed by Wellington Zoo, was further supported by users of social networking sites who set up "boycott Cadbury" groups, and a petition was signed urging Parliament to warn consumers about palm oil. Following immense public pressure, Cadbury removed palm oil from its products the following month. In September 2010, Auckland Zoo sent one of its female red panda, Khosuva to Darjeeling Zoo, northern India, to become part of a breeding programme to repopulate India's Singalalia National Park near Nepal. Khosuva's offspring would be released into the wild to support Project Red Panda's working to create the Panchthar-Ilam-Taplejung corridor to connect isolated red panda populations along the India-Nepal border. Conservation learning The zoo helps educate school children about their own environment and the animal kingdom in general at the Discovery and Learning Centre. Another feature offered by the zoo are function facilities including an overnight stay option and twilight tours (Safari Nights) as well as behind-the-scenes experiences. The zoo also runs a Junior ZooKeeper program which allows children aged 6–13 years to see what it is like to be a zookeeper for a day. The program runs during school holidays and activities include helping to clean, feed and care for various zoo animals.
