Once they have recovered at our rescue centre, healthy animals are returned to the wild. Some, however, cannot go back. Animals whose medical or other disability is permanent, and which therefore cannot survive in the wild, find a new home in our forest zoo corners. Like the rescue centre itself, these are run in Prague by Lesy hl. m. Prahy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prague’s zoo corners owe their existence to a long forestry tradition. In the past, almost every gamekeeper’s lodge had a small enclosure or pen for injured forest animals, cared for by the forester himself. Today that service for Prague’s wildlife is provided by our rescue centre, and the zoo corners have become a natural part of it. They now operate as its branch sites and as a substitute home for disabled animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The largest and best known of our zoo corners is in Mal\u00e1 Chuchle; the others are in the Hostiva\u0159 forest park, in Kunratice Forest and in Kam\u00fdk. The zoo corners are freely accessible and open to visitors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Become an adoptive parent<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The residents of the zoo corners are part of our adoption scheme, which allows the rescue centre to raise funds for the care of these permanently disabled animals. If you would like to support the centre, you can become the adoptive parent<\/a> of one of the animals here and help us cover part of the annual cost of their care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What goes on in the zoo corners<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We also use the zoo corners for environmental education, running programmes for schools focused on wild animals and their protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides programmes for school groups, we also organise weekend events for the public here.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n\r\n
