About us
The role and purpose of zoos have changed enormously in recent decades. As a modern zoo, Perth Zoo aims to provide visitors with the opportunity to encounter the natural world and to become involved in conservation action. Our vision, which inspires and directs our work, is for a world where diversity of species and habitats is secure. Our purpose as an organisation is to actively contribute to conservation. This is done through our research activities, support for wildlife projects, our animal breeding programs particularly breeding animals for release into the wild, wildlife rehabilitation, and partnerships with other groups and organisations. Perth Zoo also actively contributes to conservation through the work of its staff in field conservation, wildlife veterinary training, education programs and interpretation. We actively work to connect our visitors with ways that they can contribute to conservation. We do this by using the Zoo as a resource and a learning environment about conservation and environmental sustainability and by providing opportunities for visitor involvement. Our aims include connecting people with nature, inspiring in people a passion for conservation, and providing links and practical means for people to be active in conservation programs here at the Zoo and beyond our borders.

This week, we celebrated International Volunteer Day! Perth Zoo is lucky to have more than 300 Docents who volunteer their time all year round across EVERY facet of the Zoo. They bring a wealth of different skills and expertise, but they’re all united by their passion for the Zoo and wildlife beyond our gates 🐾 For #IVD202, we’re shining a spotlight on three individuals whose journeys into the world of volunteering are as unique as the animals they care deeply about! https://bit.ly/3ZkSxPN

🐘 Our elephants have had a JUMBO delivery! 🎁 Their specially designed transport crates have arrived at Perth Zoo, so our eles can get used to them before embarking on their journey to Zoos South Australia's Monarto Safari Park. The elephant carers will be taking small steps each day to ensure Permai and Putra Mas understand these crates are a safe space, before they start their cross-country adventure. It will be bittersweet to say goodbye to the elephant pair, but their welfare is the guiding principle for their move. Our elephants deserve the very best, and we know the new herd and habitat will give them just that! A big thank you to CADDS Fabrication for manufacturing the perfect crates for our precious pachyderm pair! Read more: https://bit.ly/4i19wiw

Four of Perth Zoo’s Numbats are suiting up for a crucial mission – to help their species thrive, no matter the weather! In an exciting new research collaboration between UNSW and the Perth Zoo Science team, these little marsupials were fitted with custom collars, to track how they cope with hot temperatures. This critical research can help us to choose the best release sites for endangered Numbats bred at Perth Zoo, so they can thrive in the wild!
