This zoo, he said, "will contribute to the preservation of the ecological balance and preservation of animal resources and endangered species."

The official noted that the next zoo is a structuring project complements other achievements that will emerge in Rabat, based on the creation of modern infrastructure to house animals evolve in nature reserves including fauna from five continents .
