Zoo, le défi de demain

François, the director of the Bioparc, launched a year ago in a gigantic extension project of two and a half hectares devoted to African fauna.

On the site, the construction of the central observation hut, real hub of the site and crucial stage, occupies all the attentions.

At the heart of the future extension of the Bioparc, an error on the panoramic observation hut is blocking the progress of the entire site. In the aviary which will accommodate African birds, a lack of rocks will cause a delay of fifteen days in the initial planning. At the same moment, a rhino is about to leave the park for the Czech Republic: a rare transfer and a moment of great tension for the whole team.

After another stoppage of work on the aviary, faults in the rock could destabilize the imposing observation hut located 10 meters high.

While everything seems to be unblocking around the aviary and the observation hut, a monk vulture escapes from the Bioparc shortly before the winter closure.

As the countdown begins, accumulated delays, temperamental weather and team fatigue put the opening of the Carnivore Crater at risk.
