The James & Elizabeth Bramsen Tropical Forests exhibit spans 3 acres and includes four outdoor habitats for western lowland gorillas, Bornean orangutans, and several species of monkeys. This state-of-the-art habitat allows the animals to experience a natural environment with shady areas, waterfalls, streams, and heated rocks. The exhibit is part of Brookfield Zoo's 'Next Century Plan,' which focuses on animal wellness and guest education on wildlife and conservation. A significant aspect of the exhibit is its focus on conservation, with the zoo encouraging visitors to recycle old cellphones to help protect gorilla habitats. The opening of 'Tropical Forests' marks the completion of phase one of the 'Next Century Plan', and the zoo is already planning its next project: an 18-acre African savanna.
