The true purpose of the Park is for study and the breeding of all endangered species including the cultivation of endangered trees, plants and ground cover. The Park needs to be a "quiet place for" walking, cycling, perhaps a bridle path but no motorised traffic. There is a historical village in the making that is not yet open to the public.
