At the ZooParc de Beauval, the conservation of animal species is our raison d’être!
For the past 10 years, the Beauval Nature association has joined forces with field workers to support them in their primary mission of species conservation.
Taking action every day to protect tomorrow
With the Beauval Nature association, Beauval works alongside numerous conservation and research programmes around the world to study and protect endangered species. This daily action is to protect our biodiversity.
Conservation
Beauval Nature reports… from Bali
We go to North Bali in Indonesia to meet Gatot and Emilia, who are committed to the replanting of corals and mangroves. These ecosystems, which are home to an abundance of biodiversity, are threatened!
Reintroduction of gorillas born in Beauval and 1st world birth in a natural environment!
In 2019, Kuimba and Mayombé departed for Gabon to discover life in the wild. An extraordinary trip made possible by the Beauval Nature association!
And in 2021, Mayombé gives birth to a baby, a female called Taàli. It is the first gorilla from two parents born in a zoo and reintroduced. A world first that reinforces hopes in terms of the conservation of this critically endangered species and a magnificent reward for our passion for animals, our energy to ensure their well-being and our tenacity to work for their conservation.
Beauval labellisé Refuge LPO
Cette labellisation de la Ligue pour la Protection des Oiseaux (LPO), avec la signature d’une convention le 17 juin 2021, est une reconnaissance de tout le travail réalisé par le ZooParc de Beauval et Beauval Nature sur la protection et le recensement et de la faune locale au cœur et aux alentours du parc. 71 espèces d’oiseaux, 27 de mammifères, 4 de reptiles, 5 d’amphibiens, 24 de lépidoptères, 8 de poissons ou encore 25 d’orthoptères ont été recensées. Concernant la flore, plus de 140 espèces ont été répertoriées. La majorité d’entre elles, faunistique ou floristique, est listée sur la liste rouge des espèces menacées de la région Centre-Val de Loire, traduisant l’importance de les protéger sur les 180 hectares du site de Beauval.
Research
A daily dedication
Zoos are fully engaged in scientific research to understand and better protect ecosystems. At Beauval, we actively participate in research on animal behaviour, its development within an environment, the eating habits of different species, their reproduction, their anatomy, and more.
