Réserve Zoologique de Calviac, Wildlife conservation center in Calviac-en-Périgord, France
The Réserve Zoologique de Calviac is a wildlife park with paths leading through different geographical zones where more than 200 animals from many species live. The grounds spread across several areas, each showing creatures from a specific region of the world.
The park was created to display animals from different parts of the world in one place and protect their species. Over time, it has grown into a center that works with other zoos and conservation groups around the globe.
The reserve serves as a place where visitors encounter animals from distant regions and learn why their survival matters. The spaces are designed so that you see the creatures in settings that mirror their natural homes.
The grounds are easy to walk through with marked paths leading across the different areas and accessible to most visitors. There are rest areas and spots to pause along the way, so you can tour at your own speed.
In some areas, visitors can walk through enclosures where lemurs, wallabies, and marmosets roam freely without fences separating them. This closeness to the animals creates a feeling of direct encounter that you do not find in most zoos.
