Krefeld Zoo: Overcoming the trauma of a deadly fire
On New Year s Day 2020, images of a deadly fire in a German zoo s ape enclosure went around the world. One year on, national and international support has helped employees to look to the future.
The grand baboon stone sculpture at the zoo s entrance has become a commemoration site
In late November the demolition of the ape house in Krefeld Zoo was completed. That was a huge relief, says zoo director Wolfgang Dressen. Not having to walk past the charred ruins anymore allows us to get some sense of closure.
