The city government announced last week it will transform the city's zoo into an ecological park for a limited number of species, and begin with the transfer of birds of prey to natural reserves. Their plan to also transform the site into a conservation and research facility will take years while veterinarians decide which animals can be transferred to reserves, locally and abroad. Those who stay at the ecological park will live in what officials describe as much better conditions. (AP Photo/Natacha Pisarenko)")
