Sickly Animals! How do You Solve Pakistanâs Zoo Problem? Published December 20th, 2020 - 12:30 GMT A Himalayan brown bear named 'Bubloo' is seen inside its enclosure prior to transport it to a sanctuary in Jordan, at the Marghazar Zoo in Islamabad on December 16, 2020. The only zoo in Pakistan's capital -- which drew international condemnation for its treatment of lonely elephant Kaavan -- closed on December 16 after its final occupants were relocated abroad. Farooq NAEEM / AFP Highlights Awan has spent the last two years plying the courts to ensure the zoo is no longer allowed to house animals. With Himalayan bears Bubloo and Suzie settling into their new home in Jordan, Islamabadâs Marghazar Zoo has shut down, thanks to Athenian efforts from people across three countries. But Pakistan has other zoos with plans to build more spaces.
