This change came after the city decided that the invasive fauna and animal species the zoo housed were detrimental to the country’s ecosystem especially when many of the countries own species were becoming endangered. In an attempt to stop this growing epidemic and better educate both locals and tourists alike on the unique environment of the country, it was decided that the new Eco Parque would only exhibit animals and fauna that are native to Argentina. It was also decided that the park would not be a prison for animals captured in the wild but would rather serve as a sanctuary to those who were either poached or wounded and could not return to the wild on their own. As it stands now, the park is divided into two sections. These sections are known as the grasslands and river-lands respectively and showcase the different biomes scattered around the country by exhibiting flora and fauna native to that biome. As construction continues, the park hopes to add more sections and animal species. Currently, the park is working on moving out the none native species from the former zoo such as the lions and tigers but in time, the park with showcase the extraordinary environment of the country itself with no remnants of its history as a simple zoo.  Item changed by user 39 at 2019-06-18 01:02:04.Created manually by user
