Korkeasaari Zoo

Korkeasaari Zoo (, previously known as "Helsinki Zoo") is the largest zoo in Finland, located on the island of Korkeasaari in Helsinki. The zoo was first opened in 1889, originally showcasing common animals from Finland.
Korkeasaari Zoo is among the most popular places among visitors in Helsinki. A ferry and water buses take visitors to the Zoo during summertime from the Market Square. The zoo is also connected to the mainland via a bridge to the Helsinki district of Mustikkamaa, where there is access to the zoo all year round.
Conservation work.
Korkeasaari Zoo works with other modern zoos to maintain a healthy and viable zoo population with European Endangered Species Programme. Korkeasaari Zoo holds the European studbook for markhors and European forest reindeers. Korkeasaari Zoo holds fundraisings for many conservation projects, such as the "Night of Cats" for the Amur leopards and Amur tigers. 
The zoo is a member of European Association of Zoos and Aquaria, World Association of Zoos and Aquariums, and International Union for Conservation of Nature. Korkeasaari Zoo has also a wildlife hospital for injured and orphaned wild animals.
Collection.
There are about 150 animal species, and about a thousand plant species. The collection has been selected so that outdoor animals can comfortably live in the climate of Finland. This means that many charismatic megafauna are absent, notably elephants, rhinoceros and hippopotamuses. Korkeasaari Zoo has two tropical buildings, "Amazonia" and "Africasia".
