The new Zoo of Tirana, Veliaj: Construction of new Zoo and botanical garden to

Children of Tirana will have a new Zoo and Botanical Gardens.


Next year, the Municipality of the capital will start construction of the new garden, which will turn this area into one of the most frequented in the city.


During a meeting with the kids in the current Zoo environment, Mayor Erion Veliaj said that a special fund for this project will be foreseen in the municipal budget.


“The zoo is really big, and of course will be cleaner and better, but to make it even better we need a little more space.


“Therefore, we will join the Zoo Area with the Botanical Garden so that the world of plants and the animal world will be mixed with each other, not separated by fences and tickets.


“So with a ticket we will be able to go to the end of the Zoo, and then cross the hill and go back to another green space, which is the Botanical Garden.


“We will have a space 4 times bigger than what we have today,” said Erion Veliaj.


He also appealed to families who plan to buy pets to care for them and not throw them on the streets.


Veliaj invited the children to join their parents together for the planting campaign starting in November.


According to the mayor, the objective is to break the record set last year.
