Planning for JungleWorld, in the southeastern Wild Asia portion of the zoo, was started in 1977 and completed at a cost of $9.5 million in June 1985. $4.1 million in funds were donated by [[Enid A. Haupt]], a member of the [[New York Zoological Society]]'s board of trustees.<ref name="nyt 1985"/> The building is the largest at the zoo with an area of {{cvt|1|acre|m2}} and a height of {{cvt|55|ft|m}}. There is a wooden path that meanders for {{cvt|0.13|mi|m}}.

The building's design integrates its environment with the path, as no bars are present in the building; the walkway has no full-height barriers and short railings; and only by means of ravines, streams, or cliffs are most of the animals separated from people and each other. There is a [[volcano|volcanic]] [[scrub forest]], a [[mangrove]] [[swamp]], a [[lowland]] [[Evergreen forest|evergreen]] [[rain forest]] with giant trees which merges into a [[Temperate rainforest|mountain rain forest]] and five [[museum]]-like galleries connecting and explaining the habitats.<ref name="nyt 1985">{{cite news |last=Gold |first=Gerald |date=May 26, 1985 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1985/05/26/magazine/a-jungle-in-the-bronx.html |title=A Jungle in the Bronx |work=[[The New York Times Magazine]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170519051439/http://www.nytimes.com/1985/05/26/magazine/a-jungle-in-the-bronx.html |archive-date=May 19, 2017}}</ref> The building was built to emphasize the fact that {{cvt|150|acre|ha}} of rainforest is lost every minute.<ref>Bazell, R.
