Non ci sarà nessun rinoceronte nero, ma rinoceronti bianchi. Inoltre, la zebra di Grevy, reticolato giraffe e impala.
 
@leone: Non pensi qu' è meglio provare scrivere in inghlese in un foro/forum anglophono?
= Don't you think it is better to write in English in an anglophone based chat/forum?

From my own experience I can tell you that most people here are very tolerant to members with Non-English tonque when it comes to grammar and orthography. Also, the chances that someone will answer to your (interesting) questions will be higher.
 
It is certainly not clear yet whether the end result is white rhinos ...
It isn't clear but saddly everything looks like that. There will also be a zebra and giraffe species, and also some antelopes and ostrich. There is also planned a Kopje exhibit in which originally were planed hyenas, a mongoose species and originally even klippspringers. There also will be build a large aviary and some pens for cattle.
 
Construction of Lewa savanna started 2 May 2017. Updated project description here (in German but with pictures): Lewa Savanne
I hope they won't do a drive-through safari, as is implied by the sketches. Otherwise I think the visualizations look promising. The new area will include "giraffes", white rhinoceros, Grevy's zebras, a fake baobab, giraffe feeding, and a naturalistic indoor area for the giraffes and rhinos, according to the website.
If you want to donate, for 500 you get a toy giraffe, for 100'000 you will be named on the donator's panel, for 1'000'000+ they will "think of something appropriate" :)

You just have to love these Swiss prices :p
 
The cranes are at least not on show anymore and I suspect they are gone completely, in the Asian hoofstock section are only white-naped cranes
