Amazon World Zoo Park welcomes around 50,000 visitors each year therefore the park is an extremely important location for conservation and education and the charity will now continue to grow and develop the zoo for future generations by educating and engaging our visitors in the plight of the Natural World.

Amazon World Zoo Park has evolved to allow visitors to immerse themselves amongst rare and unusual species. Getting up close and personal to the animals makes learning about them more fascinating.

Currently home to 95 different species, including unusual animals like sloths, armadillos, anteater, red panda and slow loris.

Amazon World Zoo Park has been one of the Island’s favourite attractions since 1993, it is a member of both BIAZA (British & Irish Association of Zoos and Aquaria) and EAZA (European Association of Zoo and Aquaria) and works alongside zoological parks all around the world protecting and breeding some of the rarest species like the Bali Starling and Cotton Top Tamarins which are classified as critically endangered on the IUCN Red List.  A ¼ of the species are classified as Near Threatened or worse.

The Amazon Rainforest Conservation Centre will not only continue to support the Reddish Buff Moth, an extremely rare and Vulnerable moth that is found in one particular location on the Isle of Wight but will also build on its dedication to support work carried out in the Amazon Rainforest.

Their vision for the future is to not only continue to improve the habitats of our existing species through development of their enclosures but also do even more to secure the future of some amazing species and also improve the experience for visitors too.

They will now be embarking on an exciting five year plan so watch this space!
