Christchurch's Orana Wildlife Park is moving forward, after two reviews into allegations of unreported animal deaths and an unsafe workplace.

Board co-chair Ken Hughey says these reviews reveal what the zoo needs to do to improve conditions.

"We're really clear on what we have to do in the culture space - and now we're also clear in the other spaces."
