Kula Eco Park, Wildlife conservation park in Sigatoka, Fiji.
Kula Eco Park is a zoo and conservation park in Sigatoka, on the Fijian island of Viti Levu, focused on native wildlife in a forested setting. A network of raised wooden boardwalks winds through the trees and connects different sections where birds, reptiles, and marine animals can be seen at close range.
The site opened in the 1980s as a bird park focused on native Fijian species. Kula Management took over in 1997 and gradually turned it into a broader conservation center covering a wider range of animals.
Kula Eco Park runs free conservation classes for local schoolchildren on Fiji's environment, pollution and conservation; more than 8,000 children have attended them. The park also works with the National Trust of Fiji and the Zoological Parks Board of New South Wales, and is an honorary associate of the Royal Zoological Society of South Australia.
The park can be explored at your own pace along the boardwalks, and no guide is required to move through the different sections. A morning visit tends to give you the best chance of seeing the animals active and moving around.
In 2004, the park recorded the first successful captive breeding of the Kadavu musk parrot ever documented anywhere in the world. This parrot is found only on the island of Kadavu and is rarely seen even by people living in Fiji.
