A compassionate heart for the wild
The Tata Steel Zoological Park's dedication to animal welfare transcends mere boundaries. With heartwarming tales of rescue and preservation, this zoo stands as a beacon of hope for its beloved inhabitants. It is renowned for its Bengal Tiger breeding program and has garnered praise for its pivotal role in bolstering the population of this endangered species through meticulous breeding initiatives.
In a poignant display of compassion and expertise, the park also made headlines in 2019 with the remarkable rescue and rehabilitation of a wounded elephant, seamlessly reintegrating it into its native environment after nurturing it back to health.
Yet, another impressive feat is the zoo's commitment to conserving the Olive Ridley Sea turtles, actively monitoring nesting sites, protecting fragile eggs, and raising awareness about the challenges these majestic creatures face.
Notably, the park's dedication to wildlife rehabilitation shone brightly in 2020 as it orchestrated the successful rescue and release of a felid resembling a leopard, returning it to its rightful place in the wild.

In a testament to its noble mission and remarkable endeavours, the Tata Steel Zoological Park has welcomed many distinguished guests – from celebrities to philanthropists. Among them, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the former captain of the Indian cricket team, graces the park with frequent visits alongside his family, adding his support to its cause.
Then, in 2012, Bollywood luminary and global icon Priyanka Chopra shared her enchanting experience at the park with her vast social media following, spotlighting its charm during her sojourn in Jamshedpur.
