CONCEPT:

Cali Zoo opened its doors in 1969 when he was mayor Mr. Marino Rengifo Salcedo.Al principle, the zoo was run by the municipality (ie government) but the money that was in the mayor needed it for other things such as schools, health, etc.

For this reason the zoo almost have to close, there was not enough money. That was when several people joined to save, including businessmen and government people. These people created the Cali Zoo Foundation in 1981, a foundation nonprofit (this means that they do not care about the money, but they do to help) .Since then the Foundation has been commissioned to handle the Zoo, improving continuously, and they have managed to turn the Cali Zoo one of the best in the country and Latin America.
