like that, from Tony of Peel Zoo who is assisting Bali Zoo in their endeavours to enlarge the animal enclosures.
"the zoo has more animals than last year .The reason it appears less is the animals are now housed in natural looking habitats and not over crowded like it was a year or so ago ,as well all the enclosures have trees ,vegetation and glass or moat style habitats not heaps of iron bars"
The increase in price is to enable Bali Zoo to continue to improve the animal's habitat, and to build a rehab for rescued orang utans.
As you know Bali Zoo is not a huge corporation with millions and millions of dollars but a small business that genuinly cares about the animals in their care.
I don't understand why your Balinese friends were not charged the correct rate?
