Conservation landscape design at Auckland Zoo

From Afternoons, 1:38 pm on 22 August 2019

Auckland Zoo has embarked on a huge overhaul, spending millions to develop the South East Asia Jungle Track to open by the end of 2020.

The idea is for visitors to feel like they are really walking beside a tiger, so an international design team was roped in to create the immersive atmosphere.

US-based Becca Hanson leads the team, she specialises in conservation landscape design. She's in studio to tell us what exactly that is and what spaces she worked on.
