Zoos, the most accessible nature reserves for most people in Russia, are
becoming endangered species.
With 11 million people, Moscow has only one zoo covering about 60 acres. It is
crowded with visitors all summer.
5 Zoo officials say there is not enough space to keep lions, giraffes, gorillas
and chimpanzees.
The city has been giving money to expand and improve it. Five major building
projects are underway and five more planned.
A few of Russia 's new banks and bussiness sponsor exhibits, and an
10 American businessman give US$100 a month to buy fruit for the apes.
Now many zoo workers have quit because they are paid very low wages.
