Bali tragedy affects Safari park

JAKARTA: The Bali bombings have delayed the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the Everland Zoo in South Korea and the Indonesian Safari Park in Bogor, West Java, which was scheduled to take place on Tuesday.

"The Everland Zoo requested the delay considering the Bali bomb attacks," Yulius H. Suprihardo, safari park spokesman, said.

The park planned to cooperate with its South Korean counterpart in the conservation of wildlife, exchange of technology and development of culture and tourism.

It would be based on the Zoo Future program organized by the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums. --JP
