Zoo delle Maitine, Wildlife center in Pesco Sannita, Italy
Zoo delle Maitine is a zoological facility near Pesco Sannita with naturalistic enclosures designed to reflect each animal species' native environment. The park layout guides visitors through distinct zones where animals from different regions live and interact with their surroundings.
The facility was established in 2016 as a member of the Italian Union of Zoos and Aquariums. This opening marked the creation of a new conservation-focused center in Benevento province.
The zoo conducts regular educational programs for local schools, teaching children about wildlife conservation, animal behavior, and environmental protection through hands-on experiences.
The facility is easy to walk through with clear pathways connecting all animal zones and viewing areas. Amenities on the grounds include seating areas and food stands to help visitors enjoy their time comfortably.
The park maintains a population of Plains Viscachas, rare rodents that very few European zoos have in their collections. These distinctive creatures are normally difficult to see in captivity, making them a special draw for animal enthusiasts.
