About Us
Saving wildlife is not what we do, it's who we are.
Zoos Victoria is a world-leading zoo-based conservation organisation, dedicated to fighting wildlife extinction.
Our four zoos are Healesville Sanctuary, Kyabram Fauna Park, Melbourne Zoo and Werribee Open Range Zoo. Each one provides a unique and immersive experience that attracts visitors from around the world.
Our zoos inspire animal lovers of all ages. And by strengthening the connection between people and wildlife, we hope to protect the future of animals and their homes.
Our important work includes breeding and recovery programs; we've built partnerships with local communities, fellow conservationists, and like-minded organisations — close to home and in far-flung corners of the world.
Thank you
We're a not-for-profit organisation, so every dollar counts. Each time you visit one of our zoos, donate, buy a memento from our shops, or share what you've discovered, you're helping us to protect wildlife. So, thank you.
