Department of National Zoological Gardens JOBS

Department of National Zoological Gardens The Department of National Zoological Gardens, which started during the early years of the 20th century, is the pioneer institute that posses manage and conserve wild animals and display the animal collection to the public throughout the year in the country. Initially, it was established as a collecting depot for captured wild animals destined for the zoos of Europe and was taken to the government in 1936. When it was made an autonomous department in 1946, the main aim was to satisfy people’s curiosity and thus the zoo was more focused on entertainment rather than conservation.
