Gradina Zoologica Bucuresti a luat fiinta in anul 1955 sub forma unui serviciu al Sectunii Gospodariei Comunale din cadrul Sfatului Popular al Capitalei. La acea data, mici efective de animale erau raspandite in parcurile Cismigiu, Carol I, Herastrau si in Padurea Baneasa. Intre anii 1955-1959 are loc o concentrare progresiva a animalelor in cadrul Coltului Zoologic Baneasa, unde la 1 Mai 1959 s-a deschis primul sezon de vizitare. Incepand din 1962, titulatura institutiei a devenit Gradina Zoologica Bucuresti si in acelasi an, a fost inclusa in Anuarul International al Gradinilor Zoologice (International Zoo Yearbook, editat de Societatea de Zoologie din Londra). Gradina zoologica, avand suprafata totala de 5,85 ha, este un asezamant public care intretine si expune colectii de animale vii, salbatice, indigene si exotice, in vederea realizarii a doua principale deziderate: conservarea faunei (avand prioritate speciile amenintate cu disparitia) si instruirea, educarea si recreerea publicului vizitator.
