Hi Milos, I agree with Nemo that finding an additional non-zoo partner would be a good thing and that it's worth having a close look at the project with Sofia Zoo, which he linked in his post. Perhaps you could ask the applicants to review that project and to outline similarities and differences to theirs? I am available to review their application.
