  Płock Zoo is located in an exceptional and picturesque area, and serves as a place of active public recreation for the people of Płock and from all over the region. The natural environment of the high escarpment on the bank of the Vistula river creates favourable conditions for wild animals breeding, including some of the rarest species, which are kept in few other zoos. We aim to convey to the public the concept of protecting wild animal species, which are dying out most often as a result of shrinkage of their natural habitats, increased environmental pollution, poaching, and the excessive exploitation of natural resources. Many animal species which have been wiped out completely in the wild have been saved thanks to zoo breeding programmes. You can find information about our zoo’s activities on the educational boards located around the zoo. We currently keep more than 300 species of animals, including many valuable specimens which are rarely found in other zoos. We receive many of them under breeding programmes for endangered species – the European Endangered Species Programme (EEP) and European Studbook (ESB) – and through our membership of the European Association of Zoos and Aquariums (EAZA). Since 2002 Płock Zoo has also been a member of the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA). This organization’s chief document is the World Zoo and Aquarium Conservation Strategy, which zoos strive to implement. The vision of a modern zoo is a reflection of its role in actions to protect wild animal species, to propagate the idea of nature protection, to conduct scientific research, and to educate the public widely about the protection of wild species. For the great majority of children and young people the zoo is the place where they first come into contact with wild animals and enjoy the first experiences that inevitably come with observation of the amazing variety of the world of animals and plants. The zoo also offers a wide range of events and educational activities. I wish you a superb day and pleasant memories of your visit to Płock Zoo.
