Taipei Zoo

On January 24, 2025, the Taipei Zoo hosted the "Right Where Lives Belong—Adoption Helps Not Only Dogs and Cats But Saves Wildlife too" exhibition at its Education Center, continuing its collaboration with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)’s "Reverse the Red" campaign. This year's exhibition focuseds on the issue of stray animals. Drawing on years of scientific observation by research teams, the exhibit highlights the threat that stray animals pose to Taiwan's native species, such as pangolins and the Formosan clouded leopard. This campaign underscores the significant ecological impact of abandoning companion animals. 

Guided by the theme " All lives should be right where they belong," the exhibition advocates for the unwavering care of companion animals and the respect and protection of wildlife. The "Pet-tential for Sustainability" section encourages adoption over purchasing while emphasizing the importance of responsible pet ownership. Through this exhibition, the zoo aims to raise public awareness of animal welfare and biodiversity conservation, urging everyone to contribute to protecting Taiwan's natural environment.
