Research

Safari Mallorca, in collaboration with the University of Zaragoza and other academic institutions, is developing a comprehensive project that encompasses both genetic research on animal species and the training of future professionals in the zoological and veterinary fields.

In collaboration with the University of Zaragoza, Safari Mallorca is developing an ambitious research project focused on the genetic study of two primate species of conservation interest.

Project of Genetic Research
In collaboration with the University of Zaragoza
  • Period 2024/2025
    Genetic Profile of the Catta Lemur Genetic analysis of Catta Lemur (Lemur catta) populations to assess genetic diversity and contribute to the conservation of this endemic species of Madagascar.

  • 2026 period
    Genetic Profile of the Crab-eating Macaque Study of the Crab-eating Macaque (Macaca fascicularis) to analyze genetic variability, understand its ecological adaptations and reinforce management strategies in captivity and natural habitats.
Direct Flights to Mazatlán External y Training Professional
In collaboration with various universities and academies
  • Veterinary FacultiesSafari Mallorca collaborates with several universities with veterinary schools, offering internships for students seeking to specialize in wildlife and exotic animals.
  • Training AcademiesWe cooperate with various academies to facilitate the acquisition of specialized qualifications, such as:
    o Zoo Keeper o Veterinary Technical Assistant (ATV)
Objectives General
  • Promote genetic research for the conservation of endangered species.
  • To offer practical training to veterinary students and future animal care professionals.
  • Promote collaboration between Safari Mallorca and the academic world, consolidating the park as a leading center for conservation and education.

Participating Institutions: 

  • University of Zaragoza 
  • Veterinary Faculties of several universities 
  • Vocational training academies 


Duration: 

  • Genetic Research: 2024-2026 
  • Training program: Ongoing, with annual continuity 

This project reinforces Safari Mallorca's commitment to research, animal conservation, and the training of new professionals in the zoological sector.
