This document provides guidelines for constructing and designing a zoo, including the objectives, required structures and facilities, animal enclosures, and rules. The four main objectives of a zoo are conservation, education, research, and recreation. The design process involves understanding constraints, choosing suitable animals, and creating natural habitats. Required structures include boundaries, signage, buildings for operations and storage, and maintenance facilities. Enclosures must meet the specific needs of different types of animals such as climbing, walking, jumping, birds, and aquatic animals. Parks and jogging tracks are also included alongside basic rules for visitor safety and animal welfare.
