A product of the company’s efforts, since 1971,when Dr. Haller came as an agronomist to take care of the garden department , after realizing the damage their mining had caused to the environment that when he decided to convert barren landscape of disused limestone quarries into vibrant and diverse ecosystem of forest, grasslands and ponds.

Currently, Haller Park plays host to a variety of wildlife including hippos, pigs, giraffes, buffaloes, and antelopes as well as smaller mammals and birds.
