The Zoo de Lille, also known as Parc Zoologique de Lille, is located in the city of Lille in northern France. The zoo was opened in 1950 and has since been a popular attraction for both locals and tourists. The zoo covers an area of about 3.5 hectares and is home to around 450 animals from 70 different species. The Zoo de Lille is known for its efforts in conservation and education. It offers various educational programs and activities for children and adults to raise awareness about the protection of animals and their habitats. The zoo is divided into several thematic zones, including the African savanna, the tropical rainforest, and European fauna. Each zone is designed to replicate the natural habitat of the animals and provide them with a life as close to their natural environment as possible. The Zoo de Lille is not only a place of recreation and education but also an important player in international conservation efforts. It participates in various breeding programs and collaborates with other zoos and organizations worldwide to protect and preserve endangered species.
