Environmentalists are raising a row over the felling of trees.

In Kiev began the reconstruction. There works construction equipment, and some animals have already distribute to other zoos. Convinced of this “News”, having visited the place.

The zoo is preparing for the construction, while visitors are not prohibited. In the area sections for primates take soil samples, and the enclosure for the chimps already removed the safety net. “The animal was sent to a private Odessa zoo. Will return them after reconstruction. When? Actively work promise to begin in April and finish in two years”, — told us the staff sections for primates.

Here, near primetrica, we found on trees, mainly fir, red marks. Employees of the zoo said that it is a label on the frame. About the upcoming massive cutting in the zoo they say, and environmentalists. “The planned mass deforestation and pine trees is not limited. In particular, they want to cut down trees — monuments of nature, declaring their supposedly dry. We disagree and will resist. We are talking about the three cherry trees near the Ferris wheel and two poplars near the lake. Apparently, these trees prevent new buildings. I don’t understand how you can start work without an approved project, without public discussion,” — outraged Director of the ecological and cultural center Vladimir Boreyko.

But the adviser to the mayor Dmitry Belotserkovets says that large trees will not suffer. “If some trees can be removed, it is not exactly a relic. Notes are likely to be associated either with the diseases of trees, or symbols of some other plan, but cut them no one will,” says Belotserkovets. According to him, at the time of reconstruction of the zoo won’t be closed: “the Builders will work section by section. For animals at this time, erected temporary housing in another part of the zoo. With regard to chimpanzees, their resettlement, the reconstruction is irrelevant. This was done by agreement on the exchange”.

Build a restaurant and Parking

The concept for the reconstruction of the zoo, mayor’s office presented last year, but the plan is not yet approved. Today at a meeting of one of the sections of the town planning Council of Kiev only going to discuss a feasibility study of reconstruction, the first phase of which, according to Belotserkovets, is expected to start in may of this year and finish in 2018.

As have informed “News” in the zoo want to build a new entrance, moving it closer to the Zoologicheskaya street. And the area of the current entrance to the unfinished cage for the monkeys is a “input area” which will combine a large Parking lot, offices, a medical room, a recreation area with a restaurant and gift shop.

Also in the menagerie promises to abandon the usual cages for the monkeys and settled primates to new enclosures of stone, glass and wood, which will be located at the far end of the Park, near the current house. For construction, as they say, is supposedly a friend of Klitschko and his former first Deputy of the Kyiv city state administration Igor Nikonov. Nikonov himself in conversation with “News” denies it: “I only helped to make the concept”.
