Images have been released of the proposed redevelopment of the zoo. Imatges del Pla Estratègic del Zoo 2012-2015 | Facebook
The images are very bad. For better knowing the real planned exhibits there are the plans (from top and from one side) in this slideshow: Pla estratègic Zoo 2012-2015
Look at the list on post number 15 in this thread (under the african forest). If they really get african golden cat, I am there in a heartbeat! (And while they are at it, it would not hurt to throw in an iberian lynx exhibit for good measure ).
Forget all that is before the post number 21, as this was the masterplan made by the former mayor, and the new one has made his own masterplan. There are no info about new animal species for this new masterplan.

Visited Barcelona Zoo last week.... Lots of work going on to re-model the central 'savanna' area and also the orang exhibit. New enclosure at bottom of mountain for Drill - although labelled on map as Mandrill? - was this intended for Mandrill originally? Despite hotwire, the drills have managed to strip the central tree of foliage...I watched as a young mail, literally took the last bunch of leaves from the tree. This enclosure is in the area once occupied by Spanish ibex - have they all now gone? The Monserrat mountain area all looked quite scruffy and desolate actually - lots of empty enclosures and blocked off paths. The other 'new' enclosure was for Pere David's and Fallow deer but this just looked a bit amateur with intrusive fencing, no shelter and appeared far too small for the number of animals held. There are also some odd hoofstock enclosures at the end of the zoo (past the leopard/ jaguar cages) that only have window viewing (although Nilgai could not be viewed as the single window was broken and boarded up. Also visited the aquarium for the first time - pretty disappointing in comparison to, for example, Valencia or Lisbon...not sure why, but I was expecting more.
