Helsinki Zoo (Korkeasaari)

Founded in 1889, Helsinki Zoo is situated on Korkeasaari island and serves as a sanctuary for 150 animal species and over 1,000 plant species. The zoo is divided into three distinct sections, each dedicated to housing bears, tigers, and lions. Visitors can explore the lush, natural habitats designed to mimic the animals’ native environments. Today, the zoo is renowned for its conservation efforts, particularly in the protection and breeding of endangered snow leopards, making it a significant center for wildlife preservation.
