Friends of the zoo – join today

The Association of Friends of Basel Zoological Garden was founded in 1919. It supports the zoo by providing donations, for example for the construction and improvement of enclosures, for educational purposes, or by bringing out special publications. Members also take part in a variety of activities, for example as volunteer staff on the “Infomobile”, by mailing brochures, or acting as stewards on Sundays and public holidays.

Members are sent the interesting and informative “Basel Zoo Magazine” twice a year. They take part in special guided tours and visits to other zoos. Membership also offers an opportunity to make contact with like-minded people who support practical nature conservation worldwide. Join the Friends if you would like to actively support Basel Zoo.

More information ask for the Association of Friends brochure.
