| Work Detail |
Since four years ago, a gallbladder has been badly damaged by the upper part of the zoo, the visitors area is inaccessible. But the demanding rehabilitation is now nearing its end. The works should end in the Ljubljana Zoo in mid-June; in the upper part of the garden, new homes will be given to reindeer, losers and owls by then.
Žledolom, who caused enormous damage in Slovenian forests in February 2014, did not spare the Ljubljana Zoo. Trees that cloned under a heavy ice sheet then destroyed more than a kilometer long section of the upper outer fence, four larger fences and animal dwellings and all avenues for birds were damaged, while about a third of trees fell in the garden area.
The uppermost part of the zoo was hit hardest by the needles; the steep slopes of the rožnjaca can not be reached for visitors for four years. In ZOO Ljubljana, they hoped to repair the damaged area by spring 2015, but the demanding rehabilitation was delayed. But, apparently, the reconstruction is now nearing its end. In the zoo, the citizens initiative on the Citizens Initiative portal of the portal, why the upper part of the garden has been closed for a long time, responded that they plan to open this part next month.
The rehabilitation took place gradually
In order to eliminate the consequences of gluttonol demanding, they were alerted in the zoo shortly after the melee. "Such disasters are not foreseen in regular financial plans, so this sudden turn of priorities is one of the biggest problems. In addition, the animals are living beings, so planning them in the long run, all migrations and changes should cause as little stress as possible, no broken fences can wait, "explained at the time the expert manager at the Ljubljana Zoo Ljubljana Barbara Mihelic . the logging in the area of ??the garden is more extensive than planned, therefore some enclosures due to environmental change are no longer suitable for the settling of animals that were in the vicinity of these fences.
"Since such a natural disaster could not have been expected, of course there were no plans for renewal, let alone financial resources. Therefore, it was necessary not only to design substitute fences and airlocks, but to fully upgrade the upper part in accordance with the development plan, for all projects, obtain licenses, perform public procurement, wait for the modernization of the Landscape Park Decree, obtain funds, carry out procedures with the insurance company , "The course has now been described in the zoo, where remediation has been undertaken on stages. First, a new outer fence was built in the upper part, then gradually restored the fences and arranged the paths to them, first the way to the wolves, then to the lynx, and later to the jams.
Bird breeding and insect hotels
This year under the Rožnik winter months, when visitors were less, they also used the sewage pipeline, the pipeline and the new electricity network in the lower part of the garden, where the central bayer with the bridge and the new islands for pelican and lemur were renovated and greened. "It is not possible to build this summer with a large number of visitors," they explained, adding that in the upper part of the garden, the three new fences, the bad deer, the reindeer and the trio of owls were finished. "Visitors will have the opportunity to meet with these new animals, which will be a great diversification of the existing collection of animals," they wrote in the zoo.
On the new path and in the upper chalet, visitors will also be presented with bird breeding and "inn" hotels, while the restoration of the upper part of the garden will also reduce some of the biggest slopes. This way, new fences will also be easier to access for visitors who, due to steep paths, have made this part of the zoo so hard to visit. "The opening of the upper part is planned for the middle of June this year," they predict in the zoo.
New playground Frog jump
Last month, a new childrens playground was arranged on the recently renovated bayer in the central zoo area. The playground, enabled by the NLB Vita insurance company at the ZOO Ljubljana at its fifteenth anniversary, stimulates the children to strengthen their balance and to test themselves in climbing and jumping. The playground was therefore called Frog Jump.
