The CIGS Zoo, located in Manaus, Brazil, is a sanctuary managed by the Brazilian Army for animals rescued from traffickers and hunters. Nestled within its grounds, visitors can observe a diverse array of wildlife, including jaguars, monkeys, tapirs, sloths, and numerous species of birds and Amazonian fish. These animals, many of which have been displaced from their natural habitats due to development, now find a safe and protected environment. Today, the zoo offers a unique opportunity to see these creatures up close and learn about the ongoing efforts to preserve and rehabilitate them.
