When was Parco Zoo Punta Verde founded?

Parco Zoo Punta Verde was founded in 1979, in the northern part of the Lignano Riviera tourist area, on the left bank of the Tagliamento River, in Friuli Venezia Giulia.

Surveyor Sergio Rodeano, passionate about transforming the area into a nursery of local plant species, aimed to restore an ecological and environmental function to the site. Over time, the project evolved into an educational and environmentally conscious facility.

Today, the park covers an area of about 100,000 square meters along the Tagliamento River and is home to around 1,000 animals of various specie

Parco Zoo Punta Verde has several different objectives:

• Educating visitors to a higher understanding of and sensitivity towards the animal kingdom and the environment in general, through specific programmes of environmental education aimed both at schools and the general public;
  
• The conservation of biodiversity, through continued patronage of projects aimed at safeguarding endangered species in their own environment and offering the local population an opportunity for sustainable development;
  
• Research, through collaborations with prized institutions such as universities, museums and scientific institutions;
  
• To bring emotions to visitors of all ages, by taking them on a tour which will entertain them and teach them to respect Nature;
