Vesty Pakos Zoo

The Vesty Pakos Municipal Biopark, formerly known as the Municipal Zoo of La Paz, is a wildlife custody center located in the city of La Paz, Bolivia. It is managed by the Municipal Government of La Paz and is the first custody center in Bolivia to be part of the Latin American Association of Parks, Zoos, and Aquariums (ALPZA). The Biopark aims to house wildlife in enclosures that recreate their natural habitats with the purpose of raising awareness and educating about the issues of trafficking, illegal possession, and commercialization of wildlife.
