Rebuilding Europaradise Zoo

Please help Europaradise Zoo rebuild after a devastating storm.

Europaradise is a Zoological Park in the town of Montemor-o-Velho, district of Coimbra, in the center of Portugal. We have in our care more than 300 animals of about sixty different species.

On january 28th, 2026, the violent winds of storm Kristin brought down many large trees, which destroyed or damaged animal enclosures, blocked the paths and the access to support infrastructure. Feeding and caring for the animals has been made difficult by the debris. A large instalation still in construction was severely damaged. To reach the state shown in the video, a lot of work had already been done, but a lot more will be necessary. Total losses may reach one hundred thousand euros.

If you can, please help us rebuild. This target amount is what is necessary just to be able to reopen to the public. Please contribute with a donation, and share our petition. All help is welcome.

Thank you very much

About the author

Europaradise is a small Zoo with recognition as an Entity of Public Interest. It was established in 1998, in an area of typical mediterranean forest near the town of Montemor-o-Velho. It is its mission to provide visitors with access to and knowledge about a diverse number of animals, both exotic and native, as well as to educate to the need and urgency to preserve biodiversity.

We are asking for help from the community for the first time, so that we may continue to provide our animals with the best care, our visitors with an enjoyable visit, and so return to our mission.
