Ragunan Zoological Park (Indonesian: Taman Margasatwa Ragunan), formerly and still commonly known as Ragunan Zoo (Indonesian: Kebun Binatang Ragunan), is a zoo located in the eponymous kelurahan (subdistrict) in Pasar Minggu, South Jakarta, Jakarta, Indonesia. The zoo has an area of 140-hectare (350-acre) and the largest park in Jakarta. The zoo has an aviary and a primate centre, and employs over 450 people.[2] Many of the animals in the zoo are endangered and threatened from all parts of Indonesia and the rest of the world. There are a total of 2,288 animals inside the zoo.[3] Laid out in a lush tropical habitat, rare animals such as crocodile, chimpanzee, gorilla, orangutan, tapir, anoa, sumatran tiger, babirusa, and peacocks are given ample room. The zoo is located in South Jakarta and is easily accessible through the Jakarta Outer Ring Road and TransJakarta Corridor 6 bus (green color).[4]
Ragunan Zoo originally opened in 1864 in the area subsequently redeveloped as the Ismail Marzuki Park. Therefore, the zoo is 160 years old. It is the oldest zoo in Indonesia.[5]
