HYDERABAD: The forest department’s wildlife conservation wing is going to open a national zoological park at Warangal by 2013, to improve captive breeding of endangered animals and birds in the state.

He added that the CZA, AP Zoological Parks and Compensatory Afforestation Fund Management and Planning Authority have released `3 crore in 2011-12 for infrastructure development.
