The modern zoo is much more than a place to go and see animals. Perth Zoo is dedicated to conservation and all that entails. Research at Perth Zoo links directly into the conservation of native and exotic species to ensure the survival of species in the wild and the continued good health of our animals. Find out what Perth Zoo is doing to help animals and the environment.
