The goal of The Virtual Zoo is to create an easily accessible learning environment for people of all ages, as well as to provide a safe environment for the animals so that they may eventually be released back into the wild. Animals that see humans on a daily basis are much less likely to survive in the wild, and we have found that by keeping them in habitats similar to their natural environments, and away from frequent human interaction, they are able to easily transition from captivity to the wild.
The Virtual Zoo currently holds many different species of animals, all of which are given ample space that is similar to their natural habitat. We limit our workers' interactions with the animals so that they are living almost completely human-free lives.
