Núcleo Zoológico el Bosque, Wildlife sanctuary in San Esteban de las Cruces, Spain
The Núcleo Zoológico el Bosque extends across 3,465 square meters of woodland, housing 223 animals from 70 different species originating from all continents.
The zoo opened its doors in 2008 and has since welcomed thousands of visitors, reaching a milestone of 20,000 visits in 2017.
The facility conducts educational programs against illegal wildlife trade and integrates school activities for children to learn about wildlife conservation.
The zoo features a 400-meter circuit with information panels about flora and fauna, rest areas, and a small picnic zone for visitors.
In 2018, the center underwent major renovations to accommodate two 19-year-old circus tigers, demonstrating its commitment to animal rehabilitation.
