I appreciate the details in your description on the structure and materials of the exhibits and visitor areas. I also like your inclusion of still extant species native to Tasmania.
Your next species is the golden toad, Incilius periglenes.
Make an Exhibit for that Recently extinct species

Passengers on the flight.
It will be a medium aviary containing the pigeons plus in the other division of the aviary some Carolina Parakeets.
It will have some signage explaining how they were hunted to extinction and that they were the most abundant pigeon specie in North America. The exhibit will resemble a big nest with branches and some grass.
Could I have another,please?

Nice exhibit, although this topic is kind of a "what if these species were still around". I like your big nest concept and the inclusion of another extinct species.
Your next species will be the Pinta giant tortoise or Abingdon giant tortoise, Chelonoidis abingdonii. This was the species of Lonesome George.
Yes. The bluebuck, Hippotragus leucophaeus.
I'd like one
Thank you. Your species will be the Falkland Islands wolf or Warrah, Dusicyon australis.
Ooooh, I want one!
Your species will be the Caribbean monk seal, Neomonachus tropicalis.

Karoo Kreatures
This exhibit features wildlife from the Karoo region of South Africa. The main feature of this exhibit is a 35-acre community exhibit with breeding populations of springboks, wildebeests, ostriches, quaggas, and gemsboks. Right in front of this exhibit (between path and the community exhibit) is an exhibit for aardvarks and meerkats. Next to the big community exhibit is a 5-acre exhibit for a breeding herd of mountain zebras as well as a pair of cape porcupines and a family of klipspringers. The klipspringers have a large rock formation in the middle of their exhibit so they can get away form the zebras, and the porcupines can get away to a dedicated exhibit between the zebra exhibit and the guest path. A two-acre exhibit behind the guests is home to a small pride of lions.
Next species, please.

I really appreciate how you included several other species from the same ecosystem. You basically created a really nice Karoo safari park.
Your next species will be the Sea mink, Neovison macrodon.
Sea mink
1.1 sea minks live in a 5,000 sqft rocky beach exhibit with a five-foot deep saltwater pool.

Next species, please
Your next species will be the Dusky seaside sparrow, Ammodramus maritimus nigrescens.
Can I have one?
Your species will be the South Island giant moa, Dinornis robustus.
A hilly enclosure will house 1.1 of this extinct canine. Fitted with burrows for its speculative shelter needs, the species would experience an exhibit similar to what the Falkland Islands are like. Humidifiers are also present for a more natural feel.
Another species please.
Your next species will be the Labrador duck, Camptorhynchus labradorius.
Sweet! (sorry for the late reply, I've been indecisive on how I want to do this exhibit!)
I'd definitely want the Caribbean monk seal to be the big attraction in a larger area. I'm gonna design this under the idea that the species never went extinct and not that they were cloned back or something. I've always liked the idea of a zoo that contains entirely Texas wildlife, and given that the Texas Gulf Coast lacks visible marine mammals other than the bottlenose dolphin, I'm sure the Caribbean monk seal would be prominently featured in any major Texas zoo or aquarium. So of course it would be perfect for Texas Trails!
Texas Coast would have an aquarium building as well as outdoor exhibits. The outdoor exhibits would mainly feature large coastal birds, including the whooping crane, osprey, roseate spoonbill, brown pelican, and white pelican. The aquarium building would mostly have saltwater fish species, along with green sea turtles and some crustacean species. The Caribbean monk seal exhibit would be in both. Outdoor viewing area allows visitors to observe the seals on a sandy beach, with a wooden pier where the seals can sun themselves and partake in care and enrich demonstrations. There would be shade structures for the seals as well. Inside the aquarium building, guests get an underwater view of the exhibit.
In terms of signage and educational display, the outdoor viewing area will focus on their biology and how they live in the wild, and the indoor area will focus on their conservation and educate guests on how to properly observe the animals in the wild.
I don't mind that it took you a while, and I appreciate the thought you put into it. Nicely done.
Your next species will be the Lord Howe swamphen, Porphyrio albus.
So I wasn't sure about how I wanted to do this but I think I figured it out.
SOUTH ISLAND GIANTS:
Designed to look like a New Zealand Orchard visitors walk along a dirt path and on their left see a wooden fence running beside a cluster of 10 trees and a small grassy plain. On the right is a large free-flight aviary featuring Haast’s Eagle. A large and “aged” farmhouse is attatched to the Moa’s enclosure. Inside is a large window leading giving views to the 1.5 South Island Moas’. Attatched to the house is a walkthrough petting zoo/aviary with 1.2 sheep, 1.3 fallow deer, in a chickenwire fenced area lives the kiwi and in a large glass walled tank with outdoor access is 1.1 New Zealand Sea Lions. Back on on the moa enclosure an amphitheatre is situated so that keepers can give an educational show about the Moa and New Zealand’s other Birds. Could I have another?
