Mission for Animal Welfare
Imagine ZOO Wrocław as a place where every animal truly thrives. That's our goal! We want the animals living with us to have the best possible life. We make sure their habitat are comfortable, they receive top-notch veterinary care, fresh and healthy food, and plenty of engaging activities. We want you – our visitors – and us – the Zoo staff – to join us in making sure our animals live the best life possible here.
To ensure our animals lead happy lives, we do many things:
- Our zookeepers are experts: We support our staff to be the best zookeepers. We train them on how to look after animals and how to make them feel comfortable with us.
- We measure animal welfare: We regularly check how the animals are feeling. We don’t guess; we collect data to know what’s working and what can be improved. This helps us always make the best decisions.
- Learning and sharing knowledge: We conduct our own research on animal welfare and also work with other zoos. We share what we learn, because together we can achieve more!
- Constantly improving: We continuously observe what we’re doing and how it’s working. If something can be done better for the animals, we change it right away.
- Animal well-being first: Whenever we make any decision at the zoo – whether it’s about building a new enclosure or implementing a new feeding plan – the most important thing for us is always whether it will be good for the animals.
- Developing our team: We provide our staff with special training to ensure they are always up-to-date with the latest ideas for improving animal welfare.
- Talking about animals: ZOO Wrocław is also a place where we want to talk about how to care for animals and ensure they have the best possible life. We want everyone to be able to join this discussion.
