    Can you please change 'Reston Zoo' to 'Roer's Zoofari'? The name changed 4 years ago when it was sold.

    Considering my request from the end of the 2019 request thread has not been added, it may be a while for these 2020 requests. I know the administrator does this on his own free time, but it is kind of frustrating when new facilities are not added within a week of the request. Maybe @Simon Hampel can add a second administrator to see new facilities are added in a timely fashion? (This is not meant to imply that I do not appreciate all the work that goes into this free site, because I do).

    Christmas / New Year is the main holiday season in Australia - I've been away for the past few weeks visiting family and only dealing with urgent issues - I won't be back in the office until next week.

    My admin assistant (whose salary I pay out of the money I earn from running these sites) has also been on holidays.

    Perhaps if more people contributed financially to the running of the site, we might have more resources available?

    I do find it surprising that so many people who use the site aren't premium members. In the £UK I believe it's £20, which really isn't a "huge" amount. I'll happily continue my subscription, and encourage others to support the site in the same way.

    It appears so yes, although the name should be changed to be more accurate.

    Can we have a new gallery and forum for D’Aguilar Wildlife under Australia please?
    D'Aguilar Wildlife
    According to a recent email they aim to be open to the public by Easter 2020.
    Also, under Australia, could "Queensland Zoo" be changed to Wildlife HQ.
    Thanks in advance.

    Just noticed today that there appear to be two galleries for Suzhou Zoo in the China category.

    I think the reason there are two is because ages ago someone requested that "closed" be added to the gallery with photos in it (because the zoo on that site has now closed); and so the "duplicate" is actually for the new Suzhou Zoo.

    It appears that the new site is properly called Shangfangshan Forest Animal World, although it is still listed around the internet as Suzhou Zoo.

    I requested the new gallery as Suzhou Zoo, but then realised it should be correctly titled Suzhou Forest Zoo. This was relayed but misunderstood, and thus we currently have three Suzhou galleries.
