On the day it celebrated its 130th anniversary, the Zoo presented the renewed Enchanted Forest and Picnic Park, a remodeling that stemmed from a partnership with the Green Dot Society.
The objective was clear: To raise the visitors’ awareness for the environmental concerns and the importance of recycling, as well as to show that several useful objects can be born of recycling.
The remodeling took a year, and today, in the Enchanted Woods, the first and last links in the recycling chain exist simultaneously. On the one hand, to gather the requisite raw material, recycling bins were spread throughout the Zoo for the first time. On the other, the picnic park received "urban furniture", tables and benches for meals, and "bird houses" for children to play with, their parts made exclusively from recycled material. This way, packages were “returned” to the consumer.
