Izmir Metropolitan Municipality organizes Feeding Activities at Izmir Natural Life Park to enable children to gain environmental awareness by interacting with nature and animals. Within this service, groups of students from kindergarten to high school visit the park by appointment and have the opportunity to feed the animals in the Lemur Sanctuary and Children's Zoo under the supervision of staff. These activities, carried out with specially prepared food suitable for the animals' health, aim to develop children's empathy, motor skills, social cooperation, and sense of responsibility.
