The topic of nature is one of the four major profile focuses of the George Orwell School. In 2017, it was awarded the Heinrich Dathe Prize for its commitment to nature and species conservation. In the immediate vicinity, the George-Orwell-Schule, as the official partner school of Tierpark Berlin, wants to bring young people closer to the natural and biodiversity of our planet and raise awareness of how every person can do their part in their everyday lives to conserve resources, protect habitats and ultimately save species.

Researchers from the Department of Neurology at Charité are studying spatial memory and navigation. In cooperation with the Berlin University of Applied Sciences, they are investigating how people navigate in new environments and how landmarks and routes are stored in memory. The study is being conducted in the VITALAB.mobile, a truck equipped with virtual reality technologies. The project is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and the German Research Foundation (Sonderforschungsbereich 1315).

The Mittelbrandenburgische Sparkasse (MBS Direkt) public savings bank organises its popular Brandenburg Day every year at Tierpark Berlin with a varied programme of events. MBS is also the sponsor of our popular bird of prey free-flight show.
