National Zoological Gardens Department Director General Anura de Silva This Open Air Zoo has been constructed targeting the tourism industry. De Silva said the construction of the open-air zoo commenced in 2000. "It was stopped in 2002 and construction started officially in 2008. The open air zoo in 44 acres has been constructed adjacent to the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage," he said.

Does it matter who initiated it? What is important is that it is there now. All you people are so narrow minded and political. Think of the country and not the politicians.

This project is started in 2000 by CBK govt. and stopped it on 2002.As usual could not do anything what they started but only talking.Then Ranils govt came to power.Not even started.As usual could not do anything what they started but only talking . Then MR govt came to power ,they restarted it and successfully completed it .As usual they finished everything what they started .Some people do not like to hear that.War , Highways,Harbor , airport ,Replacement to Colombo slums.are more examples.For more reading -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinnawala_Open_Zoo

Some of you guys writing comments here, and politicians of all stripes, are so party oriented, that there is no such thing as bipartisan policy or criticism. Every Lankan should work for the betterment of the Nation, and be proud of projects that are due praise, no matter which party was responsible for initiating it.

I wonder what took them so long to open it. Is that some of the animals got diverted to the residences of Ex. Ministers (on their way to Pinnawala) during the past 15 years. MR was not even the PM of Sri Lanka in 2000 to initiate such projects.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3EZosr3Jyc

How many such projects were opened by MR govt as well as previous govt, whereas the actual initiation was from a different govt. If I am not mistaken, the Nelum Pokuna Theater was started by the govt of 2001 to 2004. But people dont know about these
