Biodiversity hotspots & ecoregions you would like zoos to represent?

Ryukyu Islands: I thought there would be an animal zone made with an Okinawan village theme and the animals there include the Ryukyu fruit bat (Pteropus dasymallus), Lidth's jay (Garrulus lidthi), Okinawa habu (Protobothrops flavoviridis), Sakishima habu (Protobothrops elegans), Sakishima grass lizard (Takydromus dorsalis), and sword-tailed newt (Cynops ensicauda).
I'd like to see Amami rabbits (Pentalagus furnessi) as well.
 
I haven’t seen a zoo in America have a decent exhibit dedicated to the Middle East. The Middle East has lots of animals found in AZA captivity such as Dromedary Camel, Arabian Oryx, Sand Cat, Caracal, Striped Hyena, etc.
