Episode Details

The new Wildlife Health Centre is due to be built as the Zoological Society of London, which runs the zoo, celebrates its 200th anniversary. The development is being made possible by a £20n donation from a mystery benefactor, the largest in the zoo's history.

运营该动物园的伦敦动物学会宣布，将建造一所新野生动物医疗中心，目前正值该学会庆祝其成立 200 周年。这一工程计划的实施得益于一位神秘资助者提供的 2000 万英镑捐款，这是该动物园历史上收到过的最大一笔捐赠。

Critics say the zoo's plans are more about monetising public curiosity than benefiting the wildlife, a suggestion the zoo denies. It says as well as letting visitors view medical procedures as they happen, the new facility will allow research into animal health and will become a training hub for wildlife vets across the world.

批评人士称，动物园的计划更多的是为了利用公众的好奇心变现，而不是造福野生动物，园方对此予以否认。动物园表示，除了让游客实时观看医疗程序的进行，新设施还将支持开展动物健康研究，并成为全球野生动物兽医的培训枢纽。
