Creating connections; Cleveland Metroparks Zoo takes visitors on a walk around the world
Article Abstract:
Cleveland Metroparks Zoo has a master plan which when finished will represent the world's major biomes. The zoo would like people to experience these biomes directly and towards this end will have volunteers to answer questions at each site. The rainforest section has been finished and as visitors leave the exhibit, they can have a direct impact by donating to projects in Guatemala or Costa Rica or to the zoo's own education programs.
