Description

This report portrays a concept which integrates botanical and zoological specimens in a landscape designed to reveal ecological relationships among plants, animals, terrain and people. The outcome will be a zoological park/garden complex which will display living things in natural settings, contribute to the propagation of endangered species, and offer scientific research facilities. This development guide is intended to describe the purpose and features of the Master Plan. It is a presentation—a flexible guideline for the future.
