Meet Juliet on World Jaguar Day!
Celebrate World Jaguar Day at FYZoo
Faruk Yalçın Zoo and Botanical Park (FYZoo) invites you to mark World Jaguar Day with a special visit to meet Juliet, one of the zoo's beloved residents. As an iconic species under threat, jaguars hold a unique place in the natural world, and FYZoo is dedicated to raising awareness about their conservation.
A Mission to Protect and Educate
Founded in 1993 as Turkey's first private zoo, FYZoo operates with a dual focus: preserving biodiversity and educating visitors about the importance of wildlife conservation. With over 140 protected animal species and 300 plant species, FYZoo highlights the critical need to safeguard jaguars and their habitats.
Juliet, the female jaguar housed at FYZoo, serves as an ambassador for her species. Through this captivating encounter, visitors gain insight into the challenges jaguars face in the wild, including habitat loss, poaching, and human-wildlife conflicts.
Jaguar 2030 Roadmap: A Global Conservation Initiative
Jaguars are rapidly declining in the wild, making international conservation efforts like the Jaguar 2030 Roadmap vital. This initiative aims to protect jaguar populations and their ecosystems, offering hope for the survival of this majestic predator.
By visiting Juliet at FYZoo, you become a part of this global conservation movement. The zoo encourages nature lovers of all ages to join the fight for sustainable solutions that protect wildlife and our planet.
Why Jaguars Need Our Help
Jaguars, known for their power and beauty, are now listed as a species facing extinction risks. Habitat destruction and illegal hunting have reduced their numbers drastically. FYZoo's programs emphasize ex-situ conservation, which protects species like Juliet outside their natural habitats, and in-situ conservation, focusing on safeguarding wild populations.
Plan Your Visit
FYZoo is open daily from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, offering a chance to explore a sanctuary for endangered species while learning about vital conservation efforts.
About FYZoo
As a member of the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA), FYZoo conducts cutting-edge breeding and conservation programs. The zoo's initiatives include protecting critically endangered species like the Baringo giraffe, red panda, and African penguin, ensuring biodiversity for future generations.
