A positive milestone for the role zoos play in wildlife conservation. At Dublin Zoo, we have already achieved substantial conservation impact through our involvement in the breeding of threatened species and our support for conservation and research projects in the wild 🌎 🌿

Another reason to love the number 99 🍦🚏

Running from 9.00am to 6.30pm, the new 99 bus route is a great way for you to get to Dublin Zoo and visit all of your favourite animals!

Snow leopards are classified as Vulnerable by the @IUCNRedList

Dublin Zoo supports @snowleopards where our funding goes towards community-based programs aimed at creating incentives for local farmers to protect their livestock whilst supporting the local wildlife.
