The Pride Lands project at Taronga Western Plains Zoo involved the design and documentation of an open-range lion enclosure for a pride of 13 lions. This 3.8-hectare precinct represented the first major change to the zoo circuit since its opening in 1977.

The precinct was re-imagined to create an atmosphere suggestive of the African Savannah environment whilst retaining harmony with its surrounding Australian bush setting and providing the lions with best-practice animal enrichment by embodying the conservation values that underpin contemporary zoos.
