Make an Exhibit for that Recently extinct species

Mascarene parrot
Reunion: the Island of Flying Ghosts
This exhibit is a walkthrough aviary representing the island of Reunion. Two extinct bird species live in this exhibit together: Mascarene parrots and reunion ibises. There is plenty of foliage for hiding and perching and a pond for drinking and bathing.

Next species, please.

Nice exhibit.

Your next species will be the San Cristóbal vermilion flycatcher, Pyrocephalus dubius.
 
San Cristóbal vermilion flycatcher
Los Galapagos
This exhibit is dedicated to wildlife from the Galapagos Islands. It starts with a rocky outdoor exhibit for California sea lions (serving as a proxy for the Galapagos sea lion). Next you enter a large geodesic dome. The first dome exhibit is a walkthrough exhibit with Galapagos tortoises. Guests can pet and- for a small fee- feed lettuce to these gentle creatures. Free flying are San Cristóbal vermilion flycatchers. Next is an exhibit for green iguanas (serving as a proxy for the marine iguana). Next is an exhibit for Humboldt penguins (serving as a proxy for the Galapagos penguin). You exit the dome to the last exhibit, a 2-acre saltwater pool for a pod of common bottlenose dolphins.

Next species, please.

In these topics you don't really need to use proxy species, you can just use the actual species. But nonetheless a nice exhibit.

Your next subspecies will be the Carpathian wisent, Bison bonasus hungarorum.
 
Carpathian wisent
Mountains of Europe
This exhibit is dedicated to the Carpathian Mountains. It starts with a meshed-over exhibit for a pair of Eurasian lynxes. Next is a community exhibit with herds of Carpathian wisents and chamois. This exhibit has a large rocky portion to one side where the chamois can go to get away from the wisents. The chamois indoor quarters are inside the rocky structure (inspired by the Buffalo Zoo's bighorn sheep exhibit. The last exhibit is home to a pair of brown bears.

Next species, please.

The combination of wisent and Chamois is definitely intereting and I like your reference to an existing zoo exhibit.

Your next species will be the Réunion ibis, Threskiornis solitarius.
 
May I have a different species? I'd rather not recycle the exhibit I made for the mascarene parrot?
 
Floreana Island tortoise
Tortopolis
This totally outdoor exhibit is located in a zoo in a warm climate. It is home to breeding populations of several endangered, protected, or extinct species of terrestrial chelonians. A dirt path winds through the following sections:

Mainland USA
The main draw here is a large paddock with Eastern box turtles and wood turtles. Next is a pond with bog turtles and another pond with spotted turtles. There are also exhibits for eastern screech owl, bald eagle, and red fox. There is also a pond with a sign that says "ALIEN INVASION!" that is home to red-eared slider turtles.

Los Galapagos
Four species of Galapagos Islands tortosies live in dedicated paddocks: Florena Island, Pinta Island, Isabela Island, and the common species live here.

Burma
There is a paddock with Burmese star tortoises and Indian muntjacs cohabitating.

Mexico
Bolson's tortoises are the primary tenant of this section. In this section is also a free-flight aviary with turkey vulture, burrowing owls, greater roadrunners, and thick-billed parrots. There are also dedicated exhibits for black-tailed prairie dogs, common chuckwalla, western diamondback rattlesnake, and Mexican redknee tarantula.

Madagascar
This is a walkthrough meshed-in enclosure. It simulates a Malagasy spiny desert Radiated tortoises roam the floor while a troop of ringtailed lemurs climb branch formations all around guests. There is a dedicated section in here where neither radiated tortoises nor lemurs can go. That section is home to spider tortoises.

Next species, please.

Awesome exhibit with an amazing collection of tortoises, turtles and other species. This is an exhibit I would really enjoy.

Your next species will be the Caribbean monk seal, Neomonachus tropicalis.
 
Carribean monk seal
No cool complex this time, just a dedicated species exhibit
This is a sandy quarter-acre exhibit, half of which is dedicated to a 30-foot deep pool with underwater viewing.

Next species, please.

Still quite nice.

Your next species will be Lyall's wren, Traversia lyalli.
 
Lyall's wren
Stephen's Island
This is actually two exhibits making up a small section that you may see in a bird, reptile, or Australian wildlife house.

Across from each other are two exhibits with greenhouse glass for natural heating and to allow plants to grow. Each has natural foliage and rocks. One enclosure has a family of Lyall's wrens. The second enclosure is home to a breeding pair of tuataras.

May I have another species?

Your species will be the Chinese paddlefish, Psephurus gladius.
 
The purpose of this exhibit will be to show the destruction of the Yangtze River due to human activity. The exhibit will be made up of two very large tanks (think the manatee enclosure at River Safari in Singapore) that will run parallel from each other. One tank will depict the environment of the Yangtze before human influence, and one tank will depict the Yangtze in modern times.

The Natural Tank species list consists of the following:
Chinese Paddle Fish
Baji
Yangtze Finless Porpoise
Asian Carp
Black Carp
Grass Carp
Bighead Carp
Chinese High Finned Banded Shark
Yangtze Sturgeon
Chinese Sturgeon
Chinese Perch
Northern Snakehead
Chinese Softshell Turtle

Some of the fish in this tank like the various carp species as well as being part of the exhibit may also occasionally provide some of the larger predators in the tank to hunt and eat live prey.

The Human Effected Tank species list consists of the following:
Grass Carp
Asian Carp
Black Carp
Bighead Carp
Chinese High Finned Banded Shark
Northern Snakehead
Chinese Perch
Louisiana Crayfish

All species in this tank will be in much lower densities than in the other tank, except for the Louisiana Crayfish. In the tank bits of rubbish will be placed to show the pollution of the river (however no rubbish that could possibly hurt the inhabitants will be added to the tank). Large amounts of water lettuce will also located at the surface of the tank. Signage will be placed adjacent to the tank and will explain the environmental disaster that is the Three Gorges Dam, the various invasive species present in the Yangtze and the major loss of biodiversity that has occurred in and around the Yangtze River due to human influence.

I love this exhibit idea and how you focused on the human influence on and destruction of the Yangtze river ecosystem and its effects.
