About this audio guide
This guide to Bali Zoo traces the tension between the park's 2002 founding by conservationist Anak Agung Gde Putra and a 2017 investigation that found stressed elephants behind a national conservation award. It follows the founder's son, Lesmana Putra, and the argument over what the zoo's elephant rides should become as an African savanna zone rose alongside them. Listen for what changed under his watch.
