Also, not sure if this has been mentioned previously but there are pictures on facebook of the asiatic lions together so they appear to have been successfully mixed now which is good to see.
2014 Annual report, with a brief mention of an extension to the sun bear enclosure, to be started 2016. http://www.edinburghzoo.org.uk/media/399373/00902-rzss-review.pdf And the animal stock inventory; http://www.edinburghzoo.org.uk/media/399379/00902-rzss-ez-inventory-aw.pdf
I didn't read all of it (too much writing for me), but two very interesting documents, thanks for sharing!
As well as the loss of the historic pudu house and warty pig enclosure, to create gardens and a giant panda waiting area.
worth noting in addition to that they are planning to get rid of the banteng, binturong, otters etc, or in other words, most of that middle section of the zoo to make a big rhino area. they are also within the next fewww months getting rid of the (so close to successfully breeding) Stellar Sea Eagles, and my sources suggest that area will be replaced with wait for it another garden. or in other words, they are getting rid of a number of animals to focus on the garden aspects, and on having very little animals. i tell you this, if we don't have a cub this year, i don't think the zoo is going to last much longer, and the upcoming agm this year is going to be very, very interesitng. Sure whilst on paper it looks like our numbers have gone up, if you factor out the Invertebrata and Pisces, we have seen a fairly significant loss in raw animal numbers. a number of volunteers are also unhappy these days as many people have been taken off of the traditional talking about animals role and have now been placed on roles involving talking about dinosaurs and essentially having roles completely hindered by this nonsense.
Well I don't think your sources are all that accurate so why don't we all wait until more factual evidence comes to the fore. Just because some species may be moving it doesn't mean they are leaving.
well, my sources and roughly who I am have been verified by the site moderators here, and I have posted plenty of good information in here in the past that has later come true. aye. as in the past not to speak ill of anyone but our ceo does seem to have a history at many places of moving out of a good amount of popular animals.

Lemurs according to the Members magazine (Unless it's another one!) Pandas would be too much to hope for!
