A year ago the historic Buenos Aires Zoo closed its doors to the public, after being in operation for more than 140 years in the Argentine capital, and it is still uncertain what will happen to the animals that reside in the place.

Recently a series of photographs published by the AP news agency revealed the sad reality that captive animals live in the emblematic place.

According to information shared by the online site of the Ecuadorian television channel Ecuavisa, the future of the animals is still precarious and experts fear that if they are relocated they may die, since for years they have been living in that place and a radical change in their Habit could mortally affect them.

Although the Buenos Aries government had announced in the middle of last year that the almost 1,500 animals would be transferred to ecological sanctuaries in Argentina and other countries, reality shows that no plan has yet been implemented in this regard.

The iconic zoo was closed to make way for an ambitious urban project that would transform the place into an eco park that would completely renovate the surroundings.

The images revealed by AP have made the eyes of the world turn to the Buenos Aires Zoo and especially to know the fate of the animals, who in the photos look distressed and exhausted.

"This is wrong and going for the worse," said the ex-director of the zoo, Claudio Bertonatti, about the situation of the species that still reside in the place. "Everything is given for the Ark of Noah to be shipwrecked," he added in his statements.
