Wow that's a great species list, was not expecting that many species.

Good luck seeing all of them if you ever go, I'd imagine some of them are virtually impossible to see in practice given the size of the place. I kept my eyes out and looked around in suitable areas when I went, and only saw three of the herp species and missed a number of the birds.
 
Unfortunately orang-utan (Pongo abelii) female Rima (*02.08.2019, BIMBO x PINI) died from a short severe illness.

Her older brother SUAQ (*14.05.2009, BIMBO x PADANA) moved to the Ape quarantine building to prepare him to leave the zoo.
 
The parrot avaries for Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus, Ara militaris mexicana and Ara macao (part of the old bird complex) will disappear during the next years.

The new parrot aviary as a part of "Feuerland" (Tierra del fuego) will replace the old smaller aviaries.

When is that project now planned for?

Any news on what timeframe Asian forests will take up (after CoVid19)?

Fuerland is the aforementioned project for South American semi-aquatic animals(penguins and seals)but the graphic shows a parrot aviary,which was not explained in the description.I do not know of Asian Forests.
 
The construction works for Tierra del fuego already started in spring - it is planned for 2021/2022. When the running projects (aquarium and Tierra del fuego) are finished further projects will follow containing Wild dogs, anoas, babirusas, musk deers, thamins etc.
