Parc zoologique du Livradois, Animal park in Champétières, France.
The Parc zoologique du Livradois extends across 50 hectares of land, featuring forest paths and enclosures designed for diverse animal species from around the world.
Founded in 1975, the zoo operated until 2015, when it closed after multiple investigations revealed serious concerns regarding animal welfare and management practices.
The facility developed educational programs focusing on wildlife conservation, environmental responsibility, and the protection of endangered species through specialized workshops and guided tours.
Located in the Puy-de-Dôme department near Ambert, the park included dedicated areas for visitors to rest and observe animals throughout their natural habitats.
The zoo's closure led to the transfer of surviving animals to various sanctuaries and parks, following legal actions against its management for animal mistreatment.
