EcoZonia, Animal conservation park in Cases-de-Pène, France.
EcoZonia is an animal conservation park in Cases-de-Pène with space for large predators such as Siberian tigers, brown bears, and Amur leopards. The site spreads across several zones where the animals inhabit areas modeled after their natural environments.
The park was established to introduce a new approach to wildlife conservation in France, with specialized habitats for endangered predator species. This facility helped shift focus toward preserving these animals in controlled settings.
The site is organized into separate zones that reflect how different predators live in their natural habitats. Visitors can observe daily routines and behaviors in areas designed to mirror the species' original environments.
The park is open daily and easily reached by public transportation, including bus lines from Perpignan. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and prepare for varying weather, as exploring requires walking across the grounds.
Guests can stay overnight in suspended tents and eco-lodges positioned near enclosures housing Siberian tigers and brown bears. This accommodation option offers the unusual experience of hearing and sensing nocturnal activity of predators nearby.
