Givskud primarily hopes to accomplish this by eliminating cages entirely. Instead of metal bars, natural changes in the environment, such as waterways, rocks, and different landscape elevations, will dictate where the animals can and cannot go.
Additionally, visitors will be allowed to observe the animals in ways that do not intrude upon the space of the animals, and often times conceal from the animals that they are being observed at all. Zip lines will be one method of doing this. Another method is the incorporation of unique mirrored pods inside of which visitors will travel downriver, observing elephants and other creatures on their way, all without being seen.
