After the day on the World Environmental Education Day carried out by the educators of the Education Area of the Barcelona Zoo, we have been able to see that all our visitors are very aware of them. nature and its conservation.
The activities carried out were very well received and continued to help us add new Guardians of the Natural to our team.
The P5 class has visited us today to discover the world of birds and they have all been able to visit them.
From those that are most endangered such as the Jacint macaw, to those that can walk on the water like the Jacana or the fastest swimming like the penguin.
They have noticed the nests and eggs so different that they exist, the colors so beautiful that some have and for what purpose, the different foods depending on their beak, the songs so spectacular ...
Today the protagonists are them ... the zebras.
January 31 is the world day of zebras and we wanted to carry out our activity: Do not scratch! In his honor.
The zebra has a wide range in eastern and southern Africa. They generally live in prairies without trees and savannah forests and are absent from deserts, jungles and marshes. Habitat for this species is declining, although zoos that are zoo are not extinct but are on the red list due to minor concern.

The International Day of Environmental Education originated in 1975, the year in which the International Seminar on Environmental Education took place in Belgrade. This event established the principles of environmental education within the framework of United Nations programmes. As a result, Belgrade's letter was published, which embodies the fundamental demands of environmental education.
The children who participated in Zoo Day have access to aquarama cooking, feeding penguins and helping elephant caretaker prepare for boomerball.
