What Will I See at Amazon World Park?

All this started in 1990 when the original keepers of a huge tropical aviary housing free flying wild birds and exotic plants needed to move ahead somewhere else.
The current owner himself always possessed a love for animals and birds, and by destiny was steered to the Isle of Wight to make this nice discovery.
Having his own little collection of different bird varieties, it was the easiest way he could follow his passion.
He found additional enthusiasm with the idea of having others appreciate getting as close to several of nature’s most amazing creatures.
Following a visit to the Amazon Basin in South Africa where he saw for himself the effects of rain forest devastation, this hobby turned full time as he decided to give total commitment to establishing Amazon World with wildlife conservation as his key driving force.
He came back to the Isle of Wight with the full determination to make others aware of how seriously close to extinction some of the animals and plant life definitely were.
So Amazon World progressed into something more than simply a selection of animals; it is a zoo park and a hub for education and conservation.
The spectacular sight of free-flying tropical avian species above your head is there to greet you while you roam the walkways and observe some crocodiles lazing in a pond.
Otherwise, you may enjoy the exhibits and discussions or simply sit and check out the lemurs as they bathe in the sun and play.
