Burgers' Mangrove Worldwide the mangroves are threatened due to intensive prawn farming and the explosive growth in population. Because of this large sections of mangrove are disappearing, even though mangroves have an essential function in nature. Royal Burgers' Zoo wants to create awareness in its visitors and is building the world's largest covered mangrove with an area of over 3,000 m² in Arnhem. The energy efficient hall at the Arnhem Zoo is for the most part inspired by the country Belize, which is located in Central America. For over 27 years already Burgers' Zoo has been protecting a nature reserve in Belize, of which the mangrove is a significant part. With this new building project the Arnhem Zoo continues the tradition of the eco-displays: amaze visitors with ecosystems that are as close to nature as possible and in which the animals largely live in freedom.
