The Zoo Landau, which houses around 800 animals, rely on financial resources in order to be able to pass permanently. The commitment of private individuals such as the evening certificate is of great importance. The zoo is therefore still looking for support for animal sponsors and donors to continue its valuable work. A fundraising campaign is possible through the support association, the Freundeskreis Zoo Landau e.V.

If you want to support the zoo, you can do this via the following bank details:

  • Bank: Sparkasse Südliche Weinstraße
  • bic: Solades1suw
  • iban: DE31 5485 0010 0000 0003 80
  • Booking text: "Donation"

In addition, information on the takeover of animal sponsorships are available that enable the donors to personally identify with the animals and their care. The zoo hopes to be able to receive visitors again soon and is happy about any support from the community.
