Species conservation at Hellabrunn Zoo

At the heart of our species conservation work at Hellabrunn Zoo is the preservation of endangered animal species in human care, participation in important research projects and wide-ranging educational programmes to raise awareness and inspire the public to get involved protecting wildlife.
