Our contribution to nature conservation

At Beekse Bergen, you come face to face with many interesting, special and impressive animal species. But did you know that many of these species have a status ranging from 'vulnerable' to 'critically endangered'? Beekse Bergen is committed to preserving and protecting nature, both at home and abroad. On this page you can read about the ways in which we are committed to nature conservation.

How do we contribute?

Protection of nature

Beekse Bergen is committed to protecting nature through Stichting Wildlife. They support nearly thirty projects around the world, from North Brabant to South Africa. In doing so, they help very many animals, from the black bee to the African elephant.

Working together for species conservation

Many species you see with us have endangered status. That's why European parks work together to preserve these species. For example, almost all animals are born in Safaripark or moved from another park. Did you know that some animals are returned to the wild?

Native nature

Beekse Bergen is home to many animal and plant species that do not belong to the collection. These are native species: they originate in the Netherlands and are adapted to our climate. Did you know that many native species also have "endangered" status?

Why do we conduct research?

Research is very important for protecting and preserving endangered species and their habitats. This way we learn a lot about the animals and how we can help them. This is why Beekse Bergen does a lot of research and contributes to others' projects.

Education

Love for animals and nature is fostered at the Safaripark. A main task of Beekse Bergen is to provide good education. The park teaches you everything about the animals and inspires you in the field of nature protection and conservation.

Thanks to the support of our visitors, Beekse Bergen and Stichting Wildlife donated €60,000 to Save the Elephants in 2024. This money was used to build a corridor in Kenya: a safe passage for elephants and wildlife.

Klaas-Jan and Yvonne are travelling to Kenya to admire the corridor and work with Save the Elephants to investigate the challenges elephants face in the wild. You can follow this impressive journey in our blog.
