A love letter to Germany's zoos

About Zooview

Zooview is a digital atlas of Germany's zoos โ€“ not as a dry database, but as a living journey. Discover over 50 zoos in 3D, from Germany's oldest in Berlin to the charming wildlife parks in the Black Forest.

Mission

We believe zoos play an important role in conservation, research, and education. With this site, we want to inspire you to (re)discover Germany's zoo landscape โ€“ on site, with your own eyes.

Technology

This site is built statically with Astro, the 3D experience uses Three.js and React Three Fiber. The map renders a procedurally generated topography of Germany.

Data

Zoo and animal data come from public sources (Wikipedia, official zoo websites, IUCN Red List). Images are provided via Unsplash. For up-to-date information, please visit the respective zoo's website.

Open Source

This project is developed collaboratively. Improvements and corrections are welcome.
