by no means a one-off; global entity

The civic administration's grand plans of transforming the city's 130-years-old zoo into a "global entity" may just remain plan on paper if Mumbaikars continue their appalling treatment of the animals. The accompanying pictures were taken on Friday, but the scene is by no means a one-off. Zoo staff say the helpless animals are regularly pelted with stones and food by visitors.

Can you explain the emboldened parts to me?
