Conservation reaches far beyond the boundaries of Zoo

Lisbon Zoo is host to about 2000 animals of more than 300 different species, many of which are in danger of extinction. But its work is not restricted to the perimeter of Sete Rios - where it contributes on a daily basis to the conservation of the species under its care (ex-situ conservation). It extends to the distribution area of different animal species, through conservation in the natural habitat (in-situ conservation).

In order to fulfill its mission and to carry out its conservation programs, the Zoo has developed a Conservation Fund.
