Asia Trail: Washington National Zoo
The National Zoo in Washington will attract more visitors as it introduces Asia Trail with new Giant Panda habitat this week.
The costs of Zoo reached up to $53 million in order to build an Asia Trail is a huge investment over the 40 years. The National zoo also added some other Asian animals such as; red pandas, sloth bears, fishing cats and many other.
According to YahooNews; “The Asia Trial is the first element in a 10-year master plan to recreate the zoo at a cost of roughly $500 million — which, Berry said, will require support from Congress and the private sector. The zoo’s largest benefactor has been Fujifilm, which sponsored the giant panda exhibit with a donation approaching $10 million.”
“The next step in the zoo’s renovation is an expanded four-acre enclosure for Asian elephants. The zoo hopes to break ground on the estimated $60 million Elephant Trails project in spring 2007, Berry said.”
