Central Glass 42nd Competition – Theme: Environmental Zoo

The notion of the zoo is undergoing changes. The first zoos were for the collection and display of the kinds of animals that exist on our planet, yet gradually they have become environments constructed for the viewing of ecologies. Furthermore, in recent times they have been searching for ways to communicate with animals. However, if they make a single misstep, they end up just putting on shows intended to attract crowds.
