In late September this year Auckland Zoo’s three Bornean orangutans, male Charlie and females Melur and Wanita, are moving south to Orana Wildlife Park for a two-year stay ahead of construction of a major new precinct for South East Asian wildlife.
Origin is very proud to be working on this huge $50m two-year development. In the heart of the Zoo, the development is due to start in a few months’ time. It is part of a $120m 10-year redevelopment programme being funded through Auckland Council’s long-term plan, and becomes the largest project in Auckland Zoo’s 95-year history.
We’ll have more on this over the months to come.
