Sponsorship
Strongly rooted in the region
The Wildnispark Zurich Foundation emerged from the Naturlandschaft Sihlwald Foundation, which was established in 1994.
The current Sponsoring organisations comprises:
- Stadt Zürich
- Gemeinden des Bezirks Horgen
- Pro Natura Zürich
- Kanton Zürich
Foundation purpose
The foundation supports the development of the characteristic landscape, which is defined by the Albisgrat, the Sihlwald and the course of the Sihl river, in the sense that the natural and near-natural forest ecosystems and their characteristic flora and fauna are preserved. The action of the natural environmental forces and the undisturbed dynamics of the biotic communities must be guaranteed in the long term.
The foundation keeps and supports endangered native and formerly native animal species in the wildlife park. It creates an experience of nature for different populations and supports their relationship with nature. It enables and supports scientific research. It guarantees a form of recovery appropriate to the stated goals.
Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees is the strategic management body of the Wildnispark Zurich Foundation.
