Zoos are not just recreational facilities, they also play an important role in species conservation and education. As a non-profit institution, we rely on your support to help us continue our vital work. Running a world-class zoo involves more than just feeding and caring for the animals. We also need to invest in the modernisation, conversion and new construction of enclosures, which is very costly.
Ensuring the welfare of our animals is our top priority. This includes providing species-appropriate husbandry and enclosures that meet the latest veterinary requirements. In addition, Hellabrunn Zoo envisions itself as an education and conservation centre. We have been involved in conservation and environmental protection programmes for many years. These costs cannot be covered with the entrance fees alone.
Together for the Conservation of Biodiversity
With your support, you help Tierpark Hellabrunn in its work to protect endangered species and to share knowledge about animals and their habitats. Among other initiatives, Hellabrunn participates in coordinated conservation breeding programmes and is actively involved in educational and informational work on biodiversity and species conservation.
Animal sponsorships, donations, and contributions to the Friends of Hellabrunn help support these and many other important activities of the zoo.
