Zoológico de Brasília, Wildlife conservation center in Brasília, Brazil
The Brasília Zoo extends across 139 hectares, featuring more than 826 animals from 185 bird species and numerous other wildlife specimens.
Established in 1957 as the Zoobotanical Park, this institution preceded the inauguration of Brazil's capital city by three years.
The zoo received its current name, Jardim Zoológico Sílvio Delmar Holembach, in honor of a sergeant who lost his life protecting visitors in 1977.
The facility includes a Natural Sciences Museum, butterfly garden, restaurants, playgrounds, camping areas, picnic spots, and artificial lakes.
The zoo manages the Riacho Fundo Wildlife Sanctuary and Bird Park, covering 440 hectares dedicated to regional environmental preservation.
