Brazzaville Zoo, Zoo in Brazzaville, Republic of Congo
The Brazzaville Zoo occupies a central area within the capital city, displaying numerous species native to the Congo Basin, including primates, birds, and reptiles.
Established in 1972, the zoo gained international attention when Jane Goodall visited in 1990 and advocated for improved care of its resident chimpanzees.
The zoo functions as an educational center where local students learn about regional wildlife and participate in environmental awareness programs throughout the year.
Located near major city transportation routes, the facility maintains regular visiting hours and provides educational signage to inform visitors about each animal species.
During the Congolese Civil War of the 1990s, the zoo coordinated the evacuation of numerous animals to sanctuaries across Central Africa for their protection.
