Zlín Zoo has initiated a new research project in South Africa focused on the conservation of secretarybirds. This iconic bird of the African savanna, known for its distinctive appearance, is currently listed as an endangered species. The project aims to investigate the impact of modern agricultural practices on secretarybird populations. Researchers will study how farming methods affect the birds’ habitat and food sources. The findings will contribute to developing strategies for mitigating the negative effects of agriculture and promoting secretarybird conservation. This collaboration highlights Zlín Zoo’s commitment to international wildlife preservation efforts, extending beyond its exhibits to direct field work. The project seeks to ensure the future survival of these magnificent birds in their natural environment.
