Research at the Bern Animal Park

The Bern Animal Park has – from the crystal coral to the capercaillie to the musk ox – a unique animal population worthy of protection. The zoo regulations state prominently that the zoo creates knowledge about the animal world and the appropriate keeping of wild animals. And this is precisely one of the main reasons why working in an animal park is so exciting and challenging at the same time: we never know enough to understand our precious fellow creatures, but research can help us to question and advance our inner and also animal husbandry. Only in this way is the operation of a modern zoo meaningful, and for this we are also dependent on a network of researchers who are also thirsty for knowledge and enthusiastic – at this point many thanks to all those who work with us and support our research, and at the same time a call for further collaboration!
