Sumario:Zoos and related institutions are currently recognized as non-formal education spaces playing an important role in terms of spreading environmental knowledge. The objective of this work is to depict the educational profile of three zoos in Brazil and Colombia, and to study the approach to the concept of biodiversity within their educational activities.
