The park has established a guardian system, which allows each visitor to ‘guard’ up to two animals within the park. Guardians must observe animals within designated areas, maintaining a safe distance and not directly feeding or touching the animals. This approach ensures that animals are not harmed psychologically by overfeeding or excessive human contact, and visitors can more consciously learn about wildlife.
Ecological Protection is a top priority for the Shanghai Wildlife Park. The park is committed to carrying out a series of green and environmentally friendly initiatives. To maximize environmental protection effects, the park uses solar-powered lighting and electric vehicles to reduce environmental impact. In catering procurement, organic food is the main focus, and harmful foods such as melamine milk powder are strictly prohibited. Waste sorting and recycling are also well-managed. Additionally, the park actively engages in scientific research on animal populations and wildlife conservation.Educational Significance: The park serves not only as an entertainment venue but also as a science education base. It features educational centers, animal classrooms, and other educational resources to meet the learning needs of visitors of all ages. Whether it’s children who love animals or teenagers interested in wildlife conservation, they can gain knowledge and insight here, leading to a deeper understanding and appreciation of wildlife protection and ecological conservation.
Animal Welfare: The park strictly protects the rights and welfare of animals, prohibiting any form of abuse or infringement. It provides a rich diet, professional health care, and quarantine staff. The entire park is filled with extensive forests and ponds, allowing animals to move freely and enjoy an environment close to nature.
Emotional Experience: Lastly, the Shanghai Wildlife Park is also a great place for cultural experiences. Here, you can witness the emotions of animals, just like humans, who have families and live in groups. You can feel the unique charm of this place, which promotes further reflection on the co-evolution of humans and wildlife with nature.
