Ilsur Metshin comments on the redesign of Kazan Zoological and Botanical Garden

For us, citizens, this is the great luck that we finally had the opportunity to start redesigning the Zoo. For years it had been a pain in our hearts to keep the animals and have no chance to redesign the Zoo. But now we speak with confidence that Kazan will have a new Zoo, a Zoo our city is worth of, a Zoo wherein the animals will be kept in best conditions, a Zoo we won’t be ashamed of either in front of the citizens or in front of the guests of the capital of Tatarstan.

We still have a lot of work to do in the framework of the development of the project on the redesign of the Zoological and Botanical Garden. It is essential to take into account the experts’ opinion, to use the beauty of this part of the city to the greatest possible extent including the water surface, as well as to think over the way to connect the existing and the new parts of the future Zoo. But even now it is clear that the result of the joint work of the experts and all the parties responsible will be the project which will meet all the modern requirements.
