How we help to protect tigers and other big cats
The conservation situation of tigers is very fragile due to the aggressive ravaging of their wild habitats. It is currently considered an endangered animal. Loro Parque promotes in its facilities and through its informative channels content to raise awareness about the delicate state of conservation of tigers.
Loro Parque Fundación has financially supported the KAZA project, which promotes the conservation of the African lion in the Kavango Zambezi transboundary conservation area.
