A wildlife sanctuary in Spain you can visit and experience up close
Open all year · Rescued Spanish wildlife · Respectful, ethical experiences
A sanctuary that exists because people choose to care
Every animal living here has a real story.
Some arrived injured.
Some were orphaned as babies.
Others could no longer survive in the wild.
This sanctuary exists for them.
And it continues thanks to people like you, who choose to help in different ways:
Every way of helping matters.
And together, they all serve the same purpose:
making sure this place remains a safe home for Spanish wildlife.
What animals live in the Zoo of the Pyrenees?
Every animal here has a real story.
Stories of survival, care, and second chances.
Animals with disabilities who can no longer survive in the wild and need lifelong protection.
Young animals rescued and cared for until they can return to nature.
Animals receiving specialised veterinary care after accidents or human impact.
Work of the Zoo of the Pyrenees
Real protection for Spanish wildlife
The Zoo of the Pyrenees is not a traditional zoo.
It is a wildlife rescue and sanctuary for animals that would otherwise have no future.
Our work is based on five pillars that make protection, care and long-term survival possible.
Rescue & Rehabilitation
We rescue injured, hit-by-car or endangered wildlife. Many recover and return to nature.
Environmental education
We bring Spanish wildlife closer to people, families and schools. Understanding is the first step to protection.
Scientific Research
Rescue alone is not always enough. Many animals arrive due to recurring human-related problems. That’s why we collaborate with researchers and institutions to prevent these issues from happening again.
Conservation Projects
We collaborate with public authorities on breeding programmes for endangered native species. Animals born here are prepared to return to the wild.
A community protecting wildlife in Spain
This sanctuary exists thanks to many people and organizations who believe in a different way of protecting wildlife.
Public institutions, associations, companies and people like you are all part of this community. We share a love for animals and a commitment to protecting nature. Will you join us?
Everything starts with a simple first step: visit the sanctuary, meet the animals, and experience it for yourself.
Can’t visit us right now?
Many of the people who support us don’t live in Spain.
They are still part of this sanctuary by helping protect and care for animals from a distance.
Not sure yet?
That’s okay. Many people who support the Zoo of the Pyrenees started simply out of curiosity.
If you like, you can follow the project without making a decision today.
In our newsletter we share real stories from the animals and the sanctuary.
When the moment feels right, we’ll be here.
