History
On July 24, 1939, Governor Lino Díaz decreed the construction of Concordia Avenue, whose route included a space of 110 ha. On November 30 of the same year, his successor, Dr. Honorio Sigala, ordered the secluded space to be fenced off to form a reforestation forest, which would be named Bararida Botanical Park.

In 1964, when Miguel Romero Antoni arrived in the governorate, he ordered the fencing of 22 of the 110 hectares initially planned and then proceeded to form the central lagoon at its highest point, in addition to building the entrance and the path flanked by the chaguaramos. Finally, on September 21, 1967, the Bararida Zoological and Botanical Park was inaugurated,1 by the president of Venezuela, Dr. Raúl Leoni.[citation needed] By then it was dependent on the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock.

On September 20, 1985, Governor Domingo Perera Riera changed the name of Bararida Park, calling it Miguel Romero Antoni Zoological Park.2

12 years later, on February 4, 1997, Orlando Fernández Medina restored its original name of Bararida Zoological and Botanical Park to this ex situ conservation center, and also granted it the category of Autonomous Service of the Government of Lara, without personality during his short administration (1996-2000), he invested in improvements that gave quality of life to the animals kept in captivity and the exhibition of bears (Andean, brown and Tibetan), Andean condor, manatees with underwater viewer and orangutan; in addition to the inauguration of the serpentarium and the contact farm, and the drilling of the well that supplies water to the institution.
