Johannesburg
Zoo |
The
core business of the Johannesburg Zoo is the accommodation,
enrichment, husbandry and medical care of wild
animals. The Johannesburg Zoo contributes to the
quality of life of the citizens of the city through
the following:
Education: Look after the environment,
it is the only one we’ve got. This message
is spread through numerous awareness programmes,
edutainment, as well as smell, hear, touch and
feel programmes held throughout the year. The
Zoo is the epicentre for the ‘living sciences’.
We encourage teachers and parents to bring their
pupils and children to the zoo to bring environmental
subjects to life . Night tours are a must.
For all tours, school programs, holiday programs, and youth clubs, please visit
the education centre.
Conservation: Zoos work with
the trees while Parks work with the forest. This
governs the relationship with the environment,
global co-operation, endangered species preservation
and wildlife environmental protection and rehabilitation.
In partnership with local, provincial national
and regional conservation authorities, private
landowners and NGO’s, the Zoo contributes
to conservation in various ways.
Research: Problem solving to
improve the stability of wildlife. This is achieved
through biological conservation, animal diseases
information and medical care given to animals.
The Zoo contributes to research in three main
ways – own research, academic research
and partnership research.
Recreation: Bringing a world
of wildlife to your doorstep. Relaxation in a
clean, green environment, a safe and healthy
family recreational venue to spend quality time
in an interesting and fun way. Accessible and
affordable, the Zoo is the City of Johannesburg’s
world of wildlife on your doorstep. |
