In mid-August, municipal zoos in Guarulhos and Belo Horizonte hosted events focused on environmental conservation. These activities included sessions on the impacts of pollution, composting demonstrations, and discussions led by specialists regarding exotic mammals such as lions and elephants to commemorate World Lion Day and World Elephant Day. Following these events, the Museum of Zoology of the University of São Paulo launched an exhibition titled ‘Existe Bicho em SP?’ (Is there wildlife in SP?) in São Paulo. The exhibition, which runs through October 31, utilizes scientific collections and photography to highlight how various species have adapted to urban environments. The project, developed by graduate students, includes lectures and workshops held at multiple locations, including shopping centers and public parks. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-24: Museum of Zoology of USP launches urban fauna exhibition in São Paulo The Museum of Zoology of USP has opened a free exhibition at Shopping Center 3 in São Paulo, showcasing urban wildlife through scientific collections and photography to promote local fauna awareness. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/museum-of-zoology-of-usp-launches-urban-fauna-exhibition-in-so-paulo ### 2026-08-14: Brazilian zoos host wildlife and environmental education events Brazilian zoos in Guarulhos and Belo Horizonte are hosting educational programs focused on pollution awareness and the conservation of exotic mammals. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/brazilian-zoos-host-wildlife-and-environmental-education-events --- Cite as: Wildlife and biodiversity education in Brazil.
