Animal Adoption

Karta and Kluet make a nice couple don’t they? They are the most genetically important pair of Sumatran Orangutan in Australiasia and the work they are doing is vital for the survival of the species.
The Orangutan and many of the other species living at Adelaide and Monarto Zoos are crucial to the survival of their wild sisters and brothers. You can support the great work the keeping and conservation teams are doing across our sites by adopting one of our majestic creatures.

All it takes is just one click to become a life saver!
