The Biblical Zoo educates about preserving the values of nature and ecology across the entire population. Special focus is placed on activities for students and youth to cultivate awareness and knowledge and to develop future leadership of nature conservationists and wildlife keepers. In its activities, the zoo places great importance on the connection between humanity and the environment, with an emphasis on animals and their place in nature. The zoo maintains a permanent focus on animal welfare, preservation of endangered species, breeding, returning animals to the wild, and research with the goal of deepening knowledge and collaboration between nature and environmental conservation organizations in Israel and the world.
The zoo, through the Israel Aquarium, presents the aquatic habitats of Israel to deepen knowledge and understanding about what's permitted and what's prohibited in the field of fishing, and to preserve the values of aquatic nature, as part of the ecological fabric that makes up our lives.
The Biblical Zoo and the Israel Aquarium facilitate supportive programs among diverse communities based on animal assisted therapy and serve as major tourism sites in Jerusalem. As such, we are committed to work to the best of our abilities to offer a meaningful experience to our visitors.
