The sensors installed in the four habitats along the animal conservation park trail confirm the scientific evidence of the beneficial impact of trees and plants in cities. BIOPARC offers significantly favorable temperatures and a sense of wind, having a very positive impact on the well-being of the animals and the people who enjoy their vacations on this island of nature and wildlife recreation.
Corroborating with data what the scientific community has been recommending for years; this is what BIOPARC Valencia has done to demonstrate the importance of nature islands in citiesThe animal conservation park has installed devices, located in the four recreated habitats, to monitor the temperature and humidity throughout the entire enclosure. The measurements have yielded truly conclusive results when compared with those published on the park's website. AVAMET (Valencian Meteorological Association) of the Micalet stationBecause both the temperature and the thermal sensation are noticeably lowerTaking the heat wave of early July as a reference, on the same day and time, when the center of Valencia recorded 35° and a wind chill of 37°, the difference was -5° in the Savannah, -6° in the jungle area, and -7° in Madagascar and Kitum Cave.
Lush vegetation, a key element in a natural climate refuge.
The large audience that takes advantage of the holidays to visit BIOPARC is pleasantly surprised by Check how pleasant it is to visit under the shade of the lush vegetation. This perception is totally based on the figures that are checked 24 hours a day and are compared with those in the city center at 13:15 p.m. and XNUMX:XNUMX p.m. By following this protocol on days with more normal temperatures for this time of year, the data remains highly revealing.
This week, on Wednesday at noon, the station in the historic center had a temperature of about 32° and a wind chill of 35°; on the route through BIOPARC the same variables were comparatively in Madagascar of -5° and -6°, in the Kitum cave of -4° and -5°; in the area of selva of -4° in both cases and in the savannah -3° and -4°.
Moreover, Other aspects such as the senses have great influence on our perception, so that sight, sound or smell contribute significantly to how pleasant it is contemplate the green of the plants or the blue of the water; the sound of leaves, the breeze, or the flow of waterfalls; smelling wet grass or the fragrance of flowers. All of this has a direct impact on an impression of well-being and which makes a stay at BIOPARC even more attractive, to which are added the viewing platforms, rest areas, free activities, dining areas with views and, as a new feature, the Virtual Reality experience "The Last Frontier", an immersion into the abyss offered in the cinema with the latest technology of 180° vision glasses.
BIOPARC Valencia, a natural oasis.
Together, with these references it is possible highlight the success of BIOPARC's approach as a natural oasis, together with the main objective of being a center for biodiversity conservation and social awareness, to position itself as one of the best animal parks in the world and a paradigm of concept of “leisure with a cause”.
El cutting-edge zooimmersion design allows you to contemplate wildlife in a faithful reproduction of the natural habitats, and the incorporation of landscaping and botany, with careful gardening, a combination of trees that include the largest collection of acacias in Europe, water with waterfalls and river courses, result in a unique space.
Wild nature in the heart of the city.

At this time, it is crucial to communicate these data, which demonstrate the urgent need to renaturalize cities, creating green areas that offer great benefits to the population. On the one hand, spaces like Foundation They are a natural climate refuge, that is, they mitigate the heat without using air conditioning, but through vegetation an immense garden. In addition, they are vital to combat climate change, absorbing CO02 and regenerating air quality.
