SEATTLE — The Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle has received an anonymous $4 million matching challenge gift for the Asian tropical forest exhibit that will house tigers and bears.
The Seattle Daily Journal of Commerce reports the $21 million exhibit will replace the 60-year-old space where the tigers and Asian bears now live. The new exhibit is the centerpiece of the zoo’s $80 million fundraising campaign called More Wonder More Wild.
With the latest gift, the zoo has raised $59 million of its goal.
The zoo hopes to complete the campaign in 2012 and open the first phase of the new exhibit in 2013.
