Monsoon Forest, Chester Zoo

An excerpt from a map I am making of Chester Zoo, showing Monsoon Forest, a large greenhouse with free-flying birds, a Sunda gharial exhibits and indoor enclosures for orangutans and Sulawesi crested macaques. The macaque indoor enclosure is in the bottom right and the orangutans up top.

Why is the Chester zoo making a new exhibit for the orangutans when they already have a pretty good one?
 
@Mai Thai Food This one is for Sumatran orangutan and RORA is for Bornean orangutans. This is largely because Islands has a Sumatran complex but not a Bornean one, and RORA was no longer big enough to sustain the two species of I understand correctly.
