The Goualougo Triangle Ape Project
Zoo researchers monitor great ape behavior, health, and tool use in a mature old growth forest inside the pristine Goualougo Triangle.
The zoo will welcome guests starting March 5. Face masks and reservations will be required.
Check out new episodes of “Stay Tuned to the Zoo” every Tuesday and Thursday on the Lincoln Park Zoo YouTube channel!
Meet the zoo’s newest residents, from small to rhino, and explore our world-class animal care program.
The Urban Wildlife Information Network is making cities part of the solution to the biodiversity crisis.
In a city where skyscrapers are built every day, Lincoln Park Zoo is dedicated to being the place in Chicago for all things wildlife—where children learn to love animals, where adults rediscover what it’s like to wonder, and where nature isn’t just an escape, but the priority.
Animal care comes first. It’s why we prioritize individual well-being over everything. With the help of our scientific research team, staff and volunteers work to provide the best animal care and welfare outcomes for each animal.
The first step in protecting wildlife populations is learning how; the next step is doing something about it. With one of the largest zoo-based conservation and science programs in the country, we fund, support, and lead research projects locally and globally.
We all share one global wildlife community. Through engagement and education, we connect people with nature across the greater Chicagoland area. Our commitment to community here contributes to defending wildlife everywhere.
