Yadanabon Zoological Gardens, Zoo at the foot of Mandalay Hill, Myanmar
The 55-acre Yadanabon Zoological Gardens contains habitats for 300 animals, including tigers, leopards, and elephants within specialized enclosures and landscaped grounds.
The establishment of Yadanabon Zoological Gardens in 1989 marked the beginning of structured wildlife conservation efforts in the Mandalay region of Myanmar.
The name Yadanabon derives from traditional Burmese language, translating to 'jewel of the land' and connecting the facility to regional heritage.
The zoological gardens received substantial facility upgrades in 2003, with an investment of 500 million Kyat to improve animal enclosures and visitor areas.
The facility leads conservation programs for the Burmese roofed turtle, contributing to the species' recovery from near extinction through specialized breeding initiatives.
