Raise awareness, Preserve and Protect.
Park roles
The various roles of a zoo
- Research: Welcoming researchers and students to the park to better understand animal species.
- Raising public awareness through education to promote knowledge and respect for the animal world and its environment.
- Entertainment
- The preservation and protection of endangered species in their natural habitat (participation in conservation programs such as EEP - European Endangered Species Program - and ESB -European Studbook).
The ZooParc is participating.
Actively working towards species protection
- It disseminates information to their visitors about the major issues of our planet.
- It collects funds that enable financing of numerous conservation programs in the countries where the animals originate: preservation, protection, counting of remaining specimens of a species, creation of reserves, combatting poaching, etc.
Over fifty species have been reintroduced into the wild in the past fifty years, including the Przewalski’s horse found at ZooParc.
As a member of EAZA (European Association of Zoos and Aquariums), it actively contributes to various European Breeding Programs (EEP), true scientific charters for the preservation and management of animal populations, particularly threatened with extinction in their natural habitat.
