Perth Zoo

How’s this for good news on World Environment Day 🎉

We’ve hit a milestone - more than 6,000 Zoo-born animals have officially been released into the wild!

Behind-the-scenes, Perth Zoo Science staff pour hours of expertise and passion into breeding programs for endangered and critically endangered species.

And this crucial work happens around the clock! The team successfully match breeding pairs and support offspring through every stage of development until they are prepared for a wild release.

Now, more than 6,000 animals across ten different species have been bred at the Zoo and released into wild habitat.

Every individual animal born at the Zoo for release makes a huge impact on the future of the species. We are SO proud to hit this milestone 🐾

This incredible work is done in collaboration with our friends at Parks and Wildlife Service, Western Australia, as well as countless other partners and local organisations. Saving wildlife is a team effort!
