We are here just two kilometers from the Big Blue, in a region bathed in sunshine, where the temperatures remain mild throughout the year. What better framework to try to acclimatize plants from around the world and more particularly species originating from Australia, Mexico and South Africa? At the tropical zoological garden of La Londe-les-Maures, palm trees, succulents, bamboos and eucalyptus trees have found prime ground where they thrive on more than 5 hectares of land. Plants from the tropics are not the only ones to be welcomed and pampered here, in conditions as close as possible to those of their native environment. The primary vocation of the garden was the preservation of the rarest animal species, and even today this mission continues with the reception of more than 260 animals belonging to 65 species. Proof, if need be, that life is sweet at the tropical zoological garden of La Londe-les-Maures? More than 410 births have taken place there since its creation.
