Conservation

Sea cucumbers, arapaimas, spotted salamanders, tree frogs, but also other endangered species such as our eels, our Rhone aprons, the Komodo dragon or the vipers of Mount Mangshan! Many of our small and large animals are still waiting for their godmothers or godfathers.

The Komodo dragon is a living legend and one of the flagship animals of modern zoology along with, for example, gorillas and black rhinos.

The European pond turtlee is the only native aquatic turtle we have in Switzerland. Highly endangered due to the destruction of their biotopes and the release of invasive species such as Florida turtles. The latter are larger and more aggressive than the European turtles.
