The construction of a new zoological garden in Addis Ababa is a project that brings together a number of global aims: conservation, urban development, and capacity building. Since the previous Addis Ababa Zoo locally known "Anbesa Gebi" is less than the standard of the modern zoo, the project is started in Peacock Park around Bole. After building the wet and dry moat, the lions will be introduced to the area. A recent genetic study indicates that these species descend from their ancestors which are now only found in Addis Ababa Zoo.
