Jardin zoologique tropical, Botanical garden and zoo in La Londe-les-Maures, France.

Jardin Zoologique Tropical is a botanical garden and zoo that brings together animals from warm regions with tropical plants in a single setting. The grounds display birds, primates, and other exotic species alongside dense vegetation from different climatic zones.

The garden opened in 1989 on the site of a tropical arboretum planted in the 1960s, according to French Wikipedia. It was first called Jardin d'Oiseaux Tropicaux and later renamed Jardin zoologique tropical. In 2008 the French Ministry of Culture awarded it the Jardin remarquable label.

The garden opened in 1989 as the Jardin d'Oiseaux Tropicaux, a name still used in Spanish as Jardín de pájaros tropicales; it is now called Jardin zoologique tropical. It keeps about 450 birds of 80 species from Asia, Africa and South America, including curassows, hornbills, kookaburras, parrots, parakeets, pigeons and touracos, and holds national collections of agaves (over 100 taxa) and yuccas (over 40 taxa).

The garden lies on the Route de Valcros in La Londe-les-Maures and is open daily, with an admission fee charged. Plan several hours to cover the 5 to 6 hectares of aviary and planted beds. The entrance is reached by road, so check local transport before setting out.

The garden is a member of the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA) and takes part in international conservation programmes for species such as curassows and hornbills. Among the birds kept are kookaburras, touracos and parrots from Asia, Africa and South America. Look for the southern ground hornbill: glossy black, white lower belly and legs, and a broad yellow-orange casque above a pale yellow beak.
