BIG PROJECT UNDERWAY 🐘 New 'Elephant Valley' coming to San Diego Zoo Safari Park in 2025
ESCONDIDO, Calif. — The San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance announced Thursday construction of a new"Elephant Valley" exhibit is underway. The alliance says this is the largest project since the park opened in 1973.
Paul A. Baribault, the alliance's president and CEO, described the vision for the project as"a first-of-its-kind immersive experience" that will shed new light on the conservation efforts for elephant populations worldwide. The alliance described elephants as"ecosystem engineers" in its press release, and it also pointed out the species has complex social dynamics.
The safari park hired top-tier arborists and horticulture experts to recreate the African grasslands, capturing the authentic smells, sights and sounds of the ecosystem. “We are honored to take millions of wildlife allies on a journey into the life of elephants, where they will learn about the positive impact everyone can have, and share in our hope for elephants worldwide," she says."Elephant Valley will be a place where curiosity turns into discovery—where anyone from ages 1 to 100 will experience breathtaking moments of wonder in nature. Our hope is that the defining memories you make here stay with you for a lifetime.
