The ibex population in the Alps is threatened by inbreeding. European zoos have therefore launched a conservation breeding program for ibex in 2023. The Langenberg Wildlife Park is participating in this program.
New flooring, new water and sewage pipes and a new fence are needed to ensure that the animals in the ibex enclosure in Langenberg feel completely at ease and the animal keepers can work efficiently, because the facility, which opened 75 years ago, is getting on in years.
