Landhi Korangi Zoo

Landhi Korangi Zoo (Urdu: لانڈھی کورنگی چڑیاگھر), established in 1990, is a zoological garden located at Korangi, Landhi Town, Karachi District, Sindh, Pakistan. It is spread over an area of approximately 4 acres (16,000 m2) and contains a fewer variety of animals compared to Karachi Zoo. The zoo operates under the City District Government Karachi and is a member of SAZARC.

In 2004, construction plan for an aquarium, that had been on hold since 1992, was apporved by nazim of the city.

In 2006, 4 million Pakistani rupees were allocated to the Landhi Korangi Zoo for bringing new animals particularly a pair of lions. The management of Karachi Zoo also provided two pairs of plains zebra, one male and two female of the red-necked wallaby, one pair of Arabian oryx and two pairs of ostrich.

According to Dawn News 2010, experts believe that the zoo should be shut down as the government has not succeeded in bringing about any improvement in the affairs of the zoo which has been functioning in the city for more than two decades.
