Bad Zurzach Zoo is increasingly focusing on endangered Swiss breeds

Bad Zurzach – endangered Swiss breeds for the Bad Zurzach zoo
The park’s board has decided to focus more on native animal species that are on Pro Specie Rara’s red list of endangered breeds. The aim is to make an active contribution to preserving this valuable genetic diversity.

Copper-necked goats and Appenzell bearded chickens enrich the zoo
Copper-necked goats moved into the zoo some time ago. This robust and frugal goat breed has unfortunately become rare in Switzerland.
Eight colorful Appenzeller Barthühner have recently joined the inhabitants of the zoo. The chicken breed, which was once widespread, is now endangered. By breeding these animals, the Bad Zurzach zoo aims to help preserve Switzerland’s genetic heritage.

Diversity for the future
Bad Zurzach Zoo is planning to add more endangered Swiss breeds to its population in the coming years. Which animals these will be remains a secret. The Management Board promises an exciting development and invites all animal lovers to visit the zoo again soon.

An important contribution to species conservation
The commitment to endangered species is an important step towards sustainability. By breeding and keeping these animals, Bad Zurzach Zoo makes a valuable contribution to the preservation of biodiversity. At the same time, the zoo offers visitors the opportunity to experience the animals up close and learn more about their importance for our ecosystem.

The Bad Zurzach animal park is not only a place for animal lovers, but also a popular destination for families. In addition to the new inhabitants, the zoo offers a goat encounter zone, a playground and a cozy café. Here, visitors can spend a relaxing day surrounded by nature.
