In Dec 1998, Rain Forest took over the contract to run Fuengirola Zoological garden, carrying out a revolutionary restoration to style the very first menagerie fully planned as per the very latest “full-immersion zoo” concept.
Taking advantage of a typical fine clime of the Costa del Sol, and considering the modest sizing of the land useable, one single ecosystem was selected : the tropic forest.
The sub-tropical flora which springs up on the coastline of Malaga state served to copy the tropic rain forests of Malagasy Republic, Equatorial Africa and Southeast Asia.
In June 2001, the new Fuengirola Zoo opened up its gates onto the world, transforming the Spanish and Eu conception of what a zoo could be, shattering conclusively the image of iron bars and concrete, and determining the unequivocal model for future projects.
Fuengirola Biopark, earlier on known as Fuengirola Zoo, is a particular kinda zoo! Fuengirola Bioparc is a new modernistic type of zoo, with closely of regard for nature and the conservation of natural species. This role model has received Fuengirola Bioparc as a flagship for Europe.
