The Wild Place Project is an extension to Bristol Zoo. In 2008 Bristol Zoological Society announced plans to submit plans to South Gloucestershire Council for the development of a new 55-hectare park. The park officially opened on 22 July 2013.〔http://www.wildplace.org.uk/new-bristol-attraction-opens-22-july〕 The original submitted plans suggested a development cost of circa £70 million. It is located on the northern outskirts of Bristol, close to Junction 17 of the M5, opposite Cribbs Causeway. The Park has been designed to link specific ecosystems and conservation programmes across the world,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-23405618 )〕 and was originally intended to be split into biomes, representing species found only in specific habitats. Current areas include: Secret Congo, native European woodland, Edge of Africa and Madagascar. The species list currently includes: Okapi, Sudan cheetah, Zebra and European Grey Wolf. ==Future Plans== Some of the biomes originally planned are: Congo Basin Tropical Forest, Central American Swamp, African Savannah, Sumatra Tropical Forest, Nepal Riverine Forest, Coral Reef and British Wetlands.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bristol Zoo Unveils Plans For National Wildlife Conservation Park )〕 The species list for each ecosystem has not yet been finalised, but is likely to include manatees, crocodiles, bonobos, bongo, Sumatran tiger, orangutan, giraffe, zebra, warthog, kudu, African hunting dog, rhinoceros and brown bear. Development of the Park has been supported by the South West of England Regional Development Agency through a grant of £1.5million.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A new zoo for the UK )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wild Place Project」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
