Wild animals in need
The Reykjavik Park and zoo has been working in collaboration with the Icelandic Institute of Natural History for over twenty years. The program is called “Villt dýr í hremmingum” in which wild animals that have been captured due to injury or illness are brought to the zoo to receive care. Most of the animals are birds of prey, such as gyrfalcons, merlins, eagles, and short-eared owls. The purpose of this program is to release them back into the wild, if possible.
