A Brilliant Idea

These zoos have proven to be incredibly successful, and the revenue it brings in has helped keep them afloat. Giving visitors such close contact to wild animals not only offers them the experience of a lifetime, but also allows the zoos to take better care of the animals.

What Do The Experts Say?

Zoos from all around the world will start mimicking the concept, says Sophie Huberson from France’s National Union of Leisure, Amusement and Cultural Spaces. “They’ll all end up following this model, which lets them increase their capacity to invest. Those which don’t evolve will see their visitor numbers drop,” she said.

Ethical Or Not?

You may be wondering if this idea is ethical, but most of these animals are threatened in their natural environments due to poaching, climate change, and other man-made problems. The animals appear to be happy and healthy in their vast enclosures.
