Shared Knowledge/Projects/Skopje Zoo

Skopje Zoo (Macedonian: ВикиПроект „Зоо Скопје“) is a project of Shared Knowledge aiming to place QRpedia and other QR-code plaques about the animals in Skopje Zoo, through which visitors will be able to access the Wikipedia articles of each animal, either in Macedonian, Albanian or any other wiki (via QRpedia). The text on the plaques themselves is in Macedonian, Albanian an English.
