David Attenborough at the Budongo Trail Edinburgh
David Attenborough praises Budongo Trail
Sir David Attenborough paid a recent visit to the Budongo Trail Chimpanzee exhibit, created by MET Studio (together with Cooper Cromar Architects) for The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, where he was presented with the Society’s first Centenary Medal by HRH The Princess Royal. He was impressed with the whole exhibit and wrote to express his thanks with the words:
‘The Budongo exhibit is a truly outstanding achievement. I suppose everyone who has had first hand acquaintance with chimps in the wild must initially have reservations about keeping such creatures in captivity, particularly in a non-tropical environment, but the Budongo installation is so remarkable and imaginative that it banishes those doubts.’
MET Studio has worked in conjunction with The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland and Cooper Cromar Architects over a two-year period to design and build this world class Chimpanzee enclosure. The exhibition focuses on the conservation effort currently taking place in the Budongo forest, Uganda, by introducing visitors to the tireless efforts being made in the preservation of our closest animal cousins. The exhibit has already been billed as one of Europe’s leading zoological interpretational experiences.
