It envisions a smaller park featuring farm animals, domesticated species, and Cypriot breeds housed in natural environments, not cages.<br \/>\nThe focus would be on animal welfare, species reproduction, and conservation. Animals like goats, pigs, cows, horses, chickens, and local breeds would be featured.<br \/>\nEducation is a key element of the proposal. The park would serve as a learning centre promoting animal and environmental awareness. Activities could include animal feeding, art competitions, guided tours, animal photography, volunteering, donkey rides, egg collection, and cow milking.<br \/>\nThe park would also potentially house an exhibit on both local and non-native species, showcasing their ecology, behaviour, and habitat threats. Integration with the existing Municipal Garden would enhance educational offerings, attracting schools and institutions for field trips focused on nature interaction and experiential learning.<br \/>\nKYKPEE further proposes an outdoor photo exhibition chronicling the Limassol Zoo\u2019s history, allowing visitors to learn about its evolution and past transformations.<br \/>\nRead more:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-in-cyprus-com wp-block-embed-in-cyprus-com\"><\/figure>\n<p>Animal park. animal park, animal welfare, education<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Limassol Municipal Council is considering a proposal to revamp the Limassol Zoo into a new animal park named &#8220;Limassol Animal Farm Park.&#8221; The plan includes featuring farm animals, domesticated species, and Cypriot breeds in natural environments, focusing on animal welfare, species reproduction, and conservation.
