In 2006, Burgers Zoo was the best visited zoo, counting 1.5 million visitors. 2006 has therefore been a productive year for the zoo. Remarkable births were seen with the wrinkled hornbill, de hyacinth macaws and the white-tailed eagles. Apart from that a Sri Lanka panther triplets, several Finnish forest reindeers, a blue-spotted stingray and epaulette sharks were born. But Burgers' Zoo was especially happy about the birth of a white rhinoceros, which was very important genetically.
Again in 2007, the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA) will organise a nature conservation campaign, in which the NVD zoos will also take part. This year, the campaign will focus on the flora and fauna of Madagascar.

In 2006 over ten million people paid a visit to one or more zoos, connected to the Dutch Association of Zoos (NVD), causing a better economical situation, as well as many zoological renovations. The weather has not quite been a positive factor and lowered the number of visitors.
