点评:We visited this rescue center on the way back to the airport at the end of our Amazon cruise trip. This center is specialized in rescuing animals native to the Amazons from black market and/or from nature if they are severely injured, giving them treatment until they are ready to be back to the nature and to let them free. The center is in close collaboration with many NGOs around the world.
The visit was very interesting for me as I saw many animals for the first time in my life. Though the place is promoted mainly for manatees, there are many other species that are as interesting such as capybaras, toucans, tiny monkeys etc. The flora is as interesting as the animals.
I understand it's not allowed to walk around on your own and there is a guide giving the visitors information about both the animals and the center. You can also make donations. There is also a souvenir shop at the entrance.
翻译:在亚马逊河游轮之旅结束返回机场的途中,我们参观了这家动物救助中心。该中心专门从黑市和/或野外救助亚马逊河的本土动物,特别是那些身受重伤的动物。中心会为它们提供治疗,直到它们康复并重返自然。该中心与世界各地的许多非政府组织密切合作。
这次参观对我来说非常有趣,因为我生平第一次见到了许多动物。虽然这里主要以海牛闻名,但还有许多其他同样有趣的物种,例如水豚、巨嘴鸟、小猴子等等。这里的植物也和动物一样令人着迷。
据我了解,中心不允许游客自行参观,有导游会为游客讲解动物和中心的相关知识。游客也可以捐款。入口处还有一家纪念品商店。
