A trio of major exhibits at the £70 million National Wildlife Conservation Park (NWCP) in Bristol will provide an excellent landscaped attraction, educate visitors about the wonders of nature and show the interdependence of different species.

The first exhibit replicates a mangrove swamp in Tortuguero National Park, Costa Rica. The building, a transparent ETFE dome, takes visitors on a journey from the mangrove canals to a banana plantation, down a mangrove lined trail, beneath the water level to a mangraove swamp. Visitors eventually emerge onto a ‘tourist’ beach.

Kay Elliott’s second exhibit, “Indian Oceans” comprises a large bat and mongoose lemur walkthrough; a Ranger Station containing small close encounter animal exhibits; and an aquatic display with one tank displaying a brightly coloured live coral reef and the other exhibiting stunning and vibrant large fish species.

The third project is an open air amphitheatre set within a fantastic ancient woodland setting, with backstage facilities for animals, all with green living roofs.
