WICHITA - The Sedgwick County Zoo's new Slawson Family Tiger Trek exhibit will have its grand opening beginning at 10 a.m. today.
It will be the first time the public will be able to see the exhibit's two Malayan and two Amur tigers as they pounce, play and soak up the sun.
Prizewinners in the zoo's naming contest for the tigers will be announced. The ceremony will also include comments from Mark Reed, the zoo's director; Sedgwick County Commissioner David Unruh; and donors Don and Judy Slawson.

"Anggaran yang tersedia untuk kegiatan konservasi di kawasan hutan sangat minim yakni hanya 4 dolar AS per hektar. Sangat jauh ketimbang Malaysia 20 dolar AS per hektar.Padahal, konservasi harimau dan satwa dilindungi lainnya butuh dana besar. Idealnya 18 dolar AS per hektar bisa tersedia untuk kegiatan konservasi di 26 juta hektar kawasan hutan lindung dan konservasi.Karena dana minim itu, pemerintah ajak swasta untuk sisihkan dana CSR-nya untuk kegiatan konservasi itu. Apalagi total dana CSR perusahaan di Indonesia sampai Rp20 triliun, kalau Rp1 triliun saja untuk konservasi itu sangat membantu," papar Darori, Dirjen PHKA Kemenhut, usai Lokakarya Penggalangan Sumberdaya untuk Pelaksana Rencana Nasional Pemulihan Harimau Sumatera, pada Selasa, 17 Januari 2012.
