[Post 1662] What Does A Modern Zoo Look Like? Inside The Mandai Wildlife Reserve | Window Into The Wild - Part 1

Summary

From new parks and habitats to indoor attractions, public spaces and a resort, see how changing ideas about animals and visitor experience are reshaping the Mandai Wildlife Reserve.

Mandai’s wildlife parks have evolved over the decades, shaped by changing ideas about animal welfare, behaviour and how people experience wildlife. This episode traces that transformation, from the early open-concept zoo to new parks, more naturalistic habitats, indoor attractions, public spaces and a resort that are changing how visitors experience Mandai. Through the people involved in planning, designing and caring for the parks, we see how animal needs and visitor experience continue to influence what Mandai is becoming, while building on more than 50 years of history.
