👉 Acoustics could help the team go further in supporting this explanation. Thanks to millions of vocalisations recorded in different social contexts with the killer whales hosted at Loro Parque, and to an AI model specifically trained by SEGAI ULL Universidad de la Laguna to classify these sounds, the team aims to better understand the interactions between the endangered Iberian orca population and the growing number of boats sailing nearby.

For Loro Parque, taking part in this global forum also means sharing our vision of a more sustainable tourism model, based on the protection of biodiversity and the conservation of species. This approach is also reflected in our own practices: in addition to operating with a low-emission energy model, we strongly support local products, with our own fruit and vegetable production and close collaboration with nearby producers who supply the different companies within the companies.
