Experience, enjoy and understand nature.

Reintroduction of lynx

Our commitment to Europe’s largest cat

Wild lynx are endangered in Europe, as their small and often isolated populations suffer from genetic depletion. The Wildnispark Zurich supports the conservation of the species by releasing lynx born at Langenberg Wildlife park back into the wild. By making a donation, you can help the Wildnispark Zurich to continue these efforts and ensure that young lynx are prepared for life in the wild in conditions as close to nature as possible.
