evaluate

1. First of all, the public welfare nature of the city zoo is not suitable to be changed into a commercial nature of the wildlife park, which is not conducive to the zoo to play the role of urban green space and protection education. It is improper to move the zoo to a wildlife park.

2. Laohushan in the south of the new campus of China University of mining and technology is too far away from the urban area, so the traffic is inconvenient, which affects the public's sightseeing. It is bound to reduce the passenger flow and ticket revenue, thus causing financial burden.

3. At present, many people go to pengzuyuan to visit the zoo. After the zoo moves away, the number of visitors to pengzuyuan will be greatly reduced.
