Zoo Băneasa is a zoo in Bucharest, Romania, located in a northern district of the city, called Băneasa.[1] The park was founded in 1955 as a service of the Municipal Household Section of the People's Council of the Capital.
Between 1955 and 1959 there was a progressive concentration of animals in the Băneasa Zoological Corner, where on 1 May 1959 the first visiting season was opened.
In 1962, the title of the institution became the Bucharest Zoo and in the same year it was included in the International Yearbook of Zoological Gardens (International Zoo Yearbook, edited by the Society of Zoology from London).
The Zoo, with a total area of 5.85 ha (14.5 acres), is a public facility that maintains and exposes live, wild, indigenous, and exotic collections of animals to achieve two main goals: preservation of fauna (with priority to endangered species); and training, education, and recreation of the visitor audience.
