Ambitious plans for Abidjan zoo

Abidjan Zoo, home to some of the most endangered species on the planet, is embarking on an ambitious project to become a centre of conservation excellence in West Africa.

And many of those who survived were left severely malnourished.  The BBC’s Tamasin Ford reports.
