About Melbourne Zoo

Melbourne Zoo is Australia's oldest zoo, founded in 1862 and located in Royal Park, Melbourne. The zoo spans 55 acres and is home to over 320 animal species from around the world. Melbourne Zoo has played a significant role in giant panda conservation through its partnership with China. The zoo's giant panda exhibit opened in 2009 when two pandas, Wang Wang and Funi, arrived from China on a 10-year loan agreement. The panda habitat was specially designed to meet the unique needs of giant pandas, featuring climate-controlled indoor areas, outdoor enclosures with natural vegetation, and extensive bamboo plantations. Melbourne Zoo's panda program focuses on research, conservation, and public education. The zoo has collaborated with Chinese conservation authorities on studies of panda behavior, reproduction, and nutrition. The presence of giant pandas at Melbourne Zoo has helped raise awareness about conservation issues and has attracted millions of visitors, many of whom learn about the species for the first time. In addition to its panda conservation work, Melbourne Zoo is involved in numerous conservation projects for Australian native species and other endangered animals worldwide. The zoo's commitment to wildlife preservation extends to field conservation projects, breeding programs, and public education initiatives aimed at inspiring conservation action.
