Poaching and the development of pastoralism in the high mountains of Asia are contributing to the drastic decline of the snow leopard population – fewer than 6,000 individuals remain in the wild. In the fourth edition of Animalia, we joined forces for this very species!
As part of Animalia UEW 2025, zoo visitors had the opportunity to participate in an educational game on June 1st, and on June 5th, AniParty attendees participated in charity auctions – all to support snow leopard rescue efforts.
In total, we collected over 6,300 PLN!
The entire amount will be donated to the Snow Leopard Trust, which focuses not only on research but also on conservation education. Furthermore, by enabling work in the production of felt and wool arts and crafts, it provides an alternative source of income for the local population.
We sincerely thank everyone involved in this year’s Animalia and all the participants who supported our efforts.
Thank you to the members of the Student Government of the Wrocław University of Economics!
We look forward to seeing you at Animalia next year.
On the occasion of snow leopards, we would like to inform you that on September 8th, 2025, at 4:30 PM, in Wrocław Zoo will be meeting of the ZOO&DODO to recque snow leopards.
Please save the date of October 5th 2025 to take part in a sports challenge WILD RUN. The entire profit will support the conservation projects of wild animal species in Poland!
As every year, WILD RUN participants will run on the first Sunday of October at the following distances: 10 km (adults), 1 km (youth) and about 100 m (the youngest). Those who will be too far away to run with us along the paths of the Wrocław Zoo we encourage to participate virtually.
The money raised in the ninth edition of WILD RUN will support conservation projects of animal species such as eurasian lynxes (Lynx lynx), gray wolves (Canis lupus), brown bears (Ursus arctos), European pond turtles (Emys orbicularis), bisons (Bison bonasus) and local species of bats. We will present the detailed WILD RUN goals in July 2025.

WILD RUN 2020 #WildRun #PoczujZewNatury
Run with us, help nature – support animal rescue projects in Southeast Asia!
This is the fourth edition of the “Wild Run”, a charity campaign organized by the Dodo Foundation and the Wrocław zoo. This year, due to the pandemic, the race will take place in a different form – virtual.
Competitors will cover their distance (1km, 5km or 10km) individually, in a place and time convenient for them.
PURPOSE OF THE RUN
Southeast Asia faces enormous problems in preserving biodiversity. Many animals living there are threatened with extinction. The growing human population, poaching and illegal wildlife trade are causing a sharp decline in many species. The outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, closely related to the illegal trade in animals, has accelerated the process. People found themselves without jobs and livelihoods, and for this reason they started poaching.
Organizations saving endangered animal species found themselves in a very difficult financial situation.
They were closed to visitors for months, no charity events could be organized, and many sponsors withdrew due to the economic crisis.
