biopark
Conservation animal facility
A biopark is a type of zoo or wildlife facility that emphasizes conservation, education, and naturalistic habitats rather than traditional caged exhibits.
The term signals a shift away from older models of animal display toward immersive environments where animals live in settings that simulate their natural ecosystems.
Bioparks typically combine elements of zoos, aquariums, and botanical gardens, often incorporating research and breeding programs for endangered species.
The city's biopark houses over 200 species in habitats designed to mirror their native environments.
