Mission

In more than 100 years of history, the Bioparco underwent drastic changes, evolving from a simple exotic exhibition centre of animals into an active promoter of biodiversity conservation through the conservation of endangered species, environmental education and scientific research in line with the rules of a “modern” zoo.

Member of EAZA (European Association of Zoos and Aquaria) and WAZA (World Association of Zoos and Aquariums) it collaborates with other international zoos to safeguard endangered species.

WARNING

Due to the documented presence of West Nile Virus in Rome and the Lazio region, we recommend following the measures indicated by the Italian Ministry of Health: Ministero della Salute – West Nile, cosa c’è da sapere.

These measures are intended to reduce the risk of mosquito bites from mosquitoes that can transmit the virus.

We suggest:

  • using mosquito repellent on exposed skin;
  • wearing light-coloured clothing that covers as much skin as possible.

Bioparco has already taken measures to reduce mosquito numbers within the park. Visitors who do not have mosquito repellent with them can receive it free of charge at the entrance.
