The Buenos Aires Zoo, officially known as the Ecological Park of Buenos Aires, is located in the Palermo neighborhood of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Established in 1875, it was home to a variety of animal species and aimed to educate the public about wildlife conservation. The zoo featured diverse habitats, including tropical and temperate environments, showcasing animals from around the world. In 2016, the zoo underwent a transformation into an ecological park, focusing on conservation and education rather than traditional animal exhibits. The new park emphasizes native species and sustainable practices, providing visitors with a chance to learn about Argentina's unique ecosystems and the importance of biodiversity.
