Parque Zoolóxico Marcelle Natureza

Marcelle Natureza is a zoo located at Río Miño bank and belonging to Red Natura 2000. It is home to species from the five continents living in habitats which guarantee the satisfaction of all their physical and psychological needs. One of the main characteristics of the environment is the absence of natural structures alteration. We try to make constructions with so much biological material as possible escaping from too many “human” constructions, which give the park a very natural look. This place is mainly focused on finding shelter for animals coming from recovery or rescue centers or belonging to preservation programmes as it is the case of Cuvier’s gazelle. To transmit a conservationist message and the respect for environment is a basic tool to help to protect this species.
