You help to create generous and natural habitats for the animals. We want our animals to be able to live out their entire natural behavioural repertoire as far as possible: they should look for their food, fight their way through the pack, look after their offspring and even hide from their gaze. Thanks to sponsorships, we can offer our wildlife a varied and good life.
Of these, not only the animals have something, but also you as a visitor or visitor. You may observe and experience wildlife that might live or live in close proximity to you.
Our animal sponsorships
A sponsorship is a binding relationship. It therefore lasts at least one year. Without your counter-report, the sponsorship will be extended for another year.

To thank you for your support, we invite you to get to know your supported animal. Once a year, the sponsor day (Patentag) takes place, where we report first-hand on the life of your supported animal.
You will receive a certificate, a picture and information about your supported animal. Twice a year we also send you the wilderness, our magazine around the Wildnispark Zurich, its wildlife and the Sihlwald natural forest. Note, that all of those products are in German only.
If you wish, your name will appear on the large sponsorship plaque in the Langenberg or in the Sihlwald (otter). For the sponsorships of CHF 1000 or more, we will give you an annual parking card worth CHF 100.
Sponsorships are donations and can be deducted from tax. It takes us around 7 working days to set up a sponsorship.
