Animal diversity and species protection in the Leipzig zoo

In the time of the competition, the discovery days on the subject of “animals Africa” take place in the Leipzig Zoo. Visitors can look forward to exciting programs, including commented tours of the endangered species that live in the zoo. The East African Spitzmaulnahorn, Grevy-Zebras and saber antelopes are very popular here. These fascinating animals are all on the red list of IUCN, which makes their protection all the more important. The causes of the decline in these species are known: climate change, habitat destruction, pollution and illegal hunting are the main factors.

zoos have established themselves as important species protection centers. They manage animal populations with a species -appropriate attitude, carry out breeding programs and thus make a personal contribution to the protection of endangered species. Various activities such as animal keeper talks give visitors an insight into the everyday life of animals and the challenges that the zoos and their protégés face. The website of the zoos Leipzig provides further information about the exciting days of discovery and how the zoo actively contributes to species protection.
