Loro Parque Foundation: Over 65 projects in more than thirty countries.
Lions
The lions living in the park are ambassadors for their relatives in the wild. Loro Parque is part of the Kaza programme, which is conducted in collaboration with the conservation organisations Futoris and Panthera.
Together with these organisations, Loro Parque fights for the protection of lions in the most critically threatened regions of Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
The lions at Loro Parque provide an important genetic reserve to ensure their survival as an animal species.
Orcas
Scientific research is undertaken at Loro Parque throughout the year. It is the key to understanding orca biology and providing concrete answers to the questions that concern them.
Researchers from all over the world can learn everything they need to understand and protect these marine mammals under controlled conditions.
An important requirement for Loro Parque is that the studies are respectful and non-invasive.
In fact, the orcas can voluntarily participate in techniques such as ultrasound scans, examinations, etc., always in a playful manner and as a fun exercise.
Reproduction of animal species
Every year, animal species that are few remaining in the wild manage to produce offspring, thanks to the conditions and freedom to reproduce that Loro Parque offers them.
One example is the extremely rare and critically endangered Galapagos tortoise, which reproduced in the park for the first time this year, providing hope for their species.
Work against parrot trafficking
Loro Parque is the largest parrot reserve in the world. The experience of the great specialists in this species has made the zoological centre an extremely effective tool for the protection of the various parrot subspecies around the world.
In-situ work involves working with communities to stop poaching, deforestation and other consequences of human activity.
Ex-situ work (at Loro Parque) aims to prevent the illegal trade in species, which results in the death of other parrots whose survival is threatened by hunting for every parrot sold. Promoting legal sales is a promising strategy for preventing illegal trade.
Species reintroduction
Loro Parque’s ability to provide the best possible care for its parrots has allowed it to achieve successes such as the reproduction and recovery of the functionally extinct Lear’s Macaw, after other institutions had failed in this effort.
The pair that arrived in 2006 was the origin of the nine Lear’s Macaws that Loro Parque Fundación reintroduced to their natural habitat in 2019. Currently, the offspring of the pairs already born in their original ecosystem are being welcomed in the Brazilian Caantiga.
This is neither the first nor the last success for Loro Parque Fundación.
Certified
Loro Parque is one of the few certified zoos in the world. This means that all of its activities are monitored by the authorities in all areas, which guarantees its excellence in quality, environment, sustainability and, particularly, animal welfare.
Engaged
Loro Parque collaborates and develops programmes to protect the vulnerable species it hosts. The work carried out in collaboration with Loro Parque Foundation and other entities is essential to prevent the loss of species.
Transparency
Our work is transparent. We are accessible and open. Clients can see everything that happens, with no hidden areas. Even in our clinic.

As part of our informative and educational work on biodiversity, we have developed an encyclopaedia on cetaceans.
It is an extensive document where you will find data and scientific information about the behaviour, myths and truths surrounding these animals.
