The project for a new Bioparc in Belle-Idée, submitted to the authorities after undergoing extensive administrative procedures since 2022, is being questioned by these same authorities.
The biodome is particularly targeted due to its ostentatious nature; we have been asked to rethink the project and scale it down. However, its organic structure and its exterior and interior design are the result of extensive research conducted over two years. The biodome and the entire park were designed with our architects, supported by animal welfare specialists, and in consultation with all the Bioparc partners.
The New Bioparc project meets the needs of the animals, the people who care for them, and all the people who visit, enjoy, or work in this unique and beloved institution. It must also generate essential revenue to fulfill its missions, which remain non-profit and of public utility.
We ask the cantonal authorities to grant permission to build the project as it corresponds to the needs of the New Biopark
Why is it important?
We need the support of everyone who visits or enjoys the activities at Bioparc Genève. If you love our animal shelter and want it to remain in Geneva and continue its missions:
biodiversity conservation
reception of animals in distress due to abandonment or illegal detention
educational activities
animal-assisted intervention (zootherapy)
study, research, and training
public awareness
culture
Now is the time to help us realize our project for a new Bioparc and let the relevant authorities know by signing the petition.
Anyone can sign a petition regardless of their age, nationality, or place of residence.
How to translate the petitions
We will deliver the petition to the cantonal authorities in person.
