<Red-tailed Guenon>

The Jeonju Zoo, which has evolved into an ecological animal park and a breeding hub for endangered species in South Korea, has welcomed a new nest for the internationally endangered species (CITES) Red-tailed Guenon and the designated wild animal, the Meerkat.

The Jeonju Zoo (Director Park Hyeon-young) announced that they received four Red-tailed Guenons and five Meerkats from Daegu Nature Park on the 21st.

The newly introduced Red-tailed Guenons, an internationally endangered species (CITES), are expected to play an important role in the conservation and maintenance of the species at the Jeonju Zoo.

While the four Meerkats and two Red-tailed Guenons currently being raised at the Jeonju Zoo are unable to breed, the newly introduced individuals are capable of breeding, which is expected to significantly contribute to the conservation and genetic diversity of the species in the future.

In particular, this free transfer was not achieved in a short period but is receiving attention for being the result of the continuous exchange of breeding techniques and individual management information between zookeepers in South Korea, maintaining a close cooperative relationship.

With 89 species and 401 animals in possession, the Jeonju Zoo has completed improvements to the breeding environment, including upgrading the radiation room and breeding facilities for this introduction. After the introduction, they plan to undergo an adaptation period before being publicly displayed to the citizens.

Director Park Hyeon-young of the Jeonju Zoo said, “This free transfer was not just about securing animals, but was made possible by the long-standing trust and cooperation among domestic zoos, as a result of the continuous exchange of breeding techniques and individual management information by the zookeepers.” He added, “In the future, we will prioritize animal welfare, make every effort in the conservation and breeding of endangered species, and activate ecological education.”

📝 Brief Summary:
The Jeonju Zoo in South Korea welcomed new Red-tailed Guenons and Meerkats from Daegu Nature Park to help with conservation efforts. These endangered animals will play a crucial role in breeding and maintaining genetic diversity at the zoo.
