Symbio Wildlife Park
Source

Symbio Wildlife Park is a privately owned, medium-sized zoo situated in Helensburgh, New South Wales. It is conveniently located south of Sydney and is in close proximity to the City of Wollongong. This makes it an accessible destination for tourists visiting these areas.

History and Conservation Efforts of Symbio Wildlife Park

Established in 1975 as a native Australian wildlife park, Symbio has since expanded its collection to include a variety of animals from other countries. The park has also made significant contributions to conservation work and captive breeding programs for both Australian and exotic animals.

Symbio Wildlife Park's Captive-Breeding Facilities

In 2021, Symbio Wildlife Park established specially built captive-breeding facilities for native vulnerable and endangered species such as the Bellinger River snapping turtles, Manning River snapping turtles, and Stuttering frogs. This initiative showcases the park's commitment to conservation.
