Provide an enriching visitor experience in beautiful natural surroundings that encourage curiosity, discovery, and a deeper appreciation of biodiversity and the environment. Advance scientific knowledge by conducting and supporting research in zoology, biology, environmental science, and wildlife conservation, while collaborating with national and international partners on breeding, conservation, and reintroduction initiatives. Serve Jerusalem's diverse communities by creating educational and cultural programs that are inclusive, accessible, and responsive to the unique character of the city's many communities. Create meaningful opportunities for people with special needs to participate in animal care, horticulture, and other enriching activities throughout the Zoo, fostering inclusion, personal growth, and a sense of belonging. Strengthen Jerusalem as a world-class destination by maintaining a unique zoological collection - particularly its renowned collection of Biblical animals - and providing an unforgettable experience for visitors from Israel and around the world.
