Check the next tier first
Return to the Planet Hub and select your current Accreditation Tier. Read Requirements and Unlocks before spending money on another animal or facility.
Accreditation works at Hub level. It controls access to more species, marketing capacity, research network types and animal Storage capacity.
Career and Franchise progress differently
| Mode | What advances accreditation |
|---|---|
| Career | Medals from zoo and Wildlife Reserve scenarios |
| Franchise | Zoo Reputation and Wildlife Reserve Biodiversity Rating |
Use the requirements shown for your next tier. Do not assume every tier asks for the same number of stars.
Improve Zoo Reputation
Work on the four parts of reputation:
- Animal Husbandry: animal welfare and Thriving status.
- Sustainability: sustainable power and recycling.
- Guest Education: education topics and guests’ learning.
- Guest Experience: guest happiness, scenery and species appeal.
Identify the weaker category and improve the systems behind it, rather than guessing that higher ticket prices will raise accreditation.
Improve reserve biodiversity
Biodiversity Rating combines Ecosystem Rating and Research Rating. Establish and improve ecosystems, reduce pollution and invasive plants, release suitable species and build the research networks the reserve needs.
Once the displayed conditions are met, check your tier and its unlocks in the Hub.
