After the heavy thunderstorms there is a lot of loose dead wood and fallen trees can block paths. Please be careful and do not rest under scrawny trees.

Due to the ongoing heat wave and drought, there is a considerable risk of forest fires in the canton of Zurich (level 3 out of 5). We kindly ask you not to light fires in the Sihlwald. You may use the marked fireplaces in the Langenberg Wildlife Park. Please always extinguish the fire completely.

From now on, an exciting background report from a Swiss zoo will appear in every second issue of Tierwelt magazine. On November 26, 2020, it's the turn of Zurich Wilderness Park. We show what it takes to keep a pack of wolves successfully and in an animal-friendly way. Current occasion for this article: Langenberg Zoo recently received a new female wolf. She will hopefully form a new pack with the last remaining male from the old wolf family.

The zooschweiz association is the umbrella organization for scientifically managed zoos in Switzerland and a full member of the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature).

Tierwelt is the largest animal and nature magazine in Switzerland. It is published weekly (every Thursday). A trial subscription can be ordered here.
