Community First Cares Foundation donates $20k to new African Forest at the Jacksonville Zoo and GardensThe Community First Cares Foundation, with the help of our members and employees, donated $20,000 to the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens' African Forest, the newly designed, wellness-inspired home of the great apes, monkeys, and lemurs. The Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens closed the former Great Ape Loop in July of 2017 to begin the process of completely transforming the dated exhibit into a world-class home for primates.
The Zoo celebrated the opening of the African Forest and the return of the gorillas, bonobos, lemurs, mandrills, and colobus monkeys last month. A 50-foot tall replica Kapok tree is the heart of the new habitat, where the animals are encouraged to climb, explore, and problem-solve in unique and innovative ways. Meandering through the African Forest is an elevated trail system that will allow the different animals to access the Kapok tree. ■
