2.1.12 Use of Stainless steel / aluminum 11 CENTRAL ZOO AUTHORITY As chain link mesh or welded mesh tend to rust and have short life span, stainless steel can replace them slowly even as supporting members like posts, trusses, pipes and other members. Aluminum also can be used in limited scale, where great strength is not required. These two materials shall be particularly ideal for areas with high salinity and humidity. 2.1.13 Barriers in Off Exhibit Areas Barriers located in areas not visible to the public must provide adequate safety to zoo staff and animals, but these barriers are purely functional. Some suggestion about use of different material for barriers of different species as suggested by a committee of experts is appended to the manual. The vultures housed in off - exhibit at Conservation Breeding Centre for Vultures at Pinjore are provided with bamboo screening as a barrier.
