A Must-See Site in Nouvelle-Aquitaine
Founded by Claude Caillé in 1966, La Palmyre Zoo welcomes over 700,000 visitors each year who come to observe 1,600 mammals, birds, and reptiles, not to mention the tigers from the Fort Boyard game…
Today, the zoo is one of the most visited tourist sites in the Charente-Maritime department. The park records 200 to 300 births each year, a success explained by the care given to the animals’ diet and well-being in this zoological park.
Conservation of Endangered Species
La Palmyre Zoo is committed to species conservation through international cooperation and plays an important role in the conservation of endangered species.
It participates in funding several programs dedicated to this cause with support actions at scientific, technical, and logistical levels (on-site intervention by veterinarians, animal keepers, or ethologists working in zoos, purchase of equipment, etc.).
Today, several in-situ conservation programs are the subject of a special collaboration from La Palmyre Zoo. The objective is to preserve animals whose survival is directly threatened in the short to medium term by deforestation, hunting, the expansion of human activities, or habitat destruction… The majority of the animals concerned are primates, which represent 27% of the species present at the zoo and are among the most endangered animals in the wild.
