Do you know the binturongs, the wolves with mane or the babiroussas? Then come to discover or rediscover these animals which populate the Zoological Space of Saint Martin the Plain. Located vis-a-vis the Regional Natural reserve of Pilat,the Zoological Space presents 350 animals divided into more than 60 species of which some are unique in France.

At the Zoological Space, we were given the mission of the conservation of the species threatened of extinction while taking part in coordinated European programs (EEP). Any commercial transaction is banished between the zoos which collaborate in these plans of breeding. The animal populations are managed in the long run, on genetic bases, in order to ensure their everlastingness.
The Zoological Space of Saint Martin itself coordinates the EEP for the Cockatoo of the Philippines, a rare parrot threatened of disappearance. Since the creation of the Zoological Space, we wished to initiate the young public to better know the animals: a teaching book is proposed to students of all ages. Each day towards 14pm one can attend to the meals of the gorillas.
