Nordens Ark, Wildlife conservation park in Sotenäs Municipality, Sweden.
Nordens Ark spans across 383 hectares of the Åby Manor estate, featuring spacious enclosures for endangered species from cold-climate regions around the world.
The foundation of Nordens Ark began on March 8, 1988, leading to its public opening on June 14, 1989, on the grounds of the historic Åby Manor.
Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden serves as the Supreme Protector of this institution, which connects Swedish society with wildlife conservation through educational programs.
The park welcomes 100,000 visitors annually and maintains membership with both the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria and World Association of Zoos and Aquariums.
The zoo operates a specialized Himalayan Habre Centre in Taplejung, Nepal, dedicated to protecting red pandas in their natural mountain habitat.
