zabadul

Zabadul refers to the zoological gardens and insectarium located in Ciales, Puerto Rico. This institution is dedicated to the conservation and preservation of the island's fauna, with a specific focus on the conservation of its more vulnerable species.

Established in 2006, the zoo currently houses a variety of native species and those endemic to the region, which include reptiles, birds, and mammals. Exhibits and displays have been designed to mimic the habitats of these species as naturally as possible, thereby providing an immersive experience for visitors.

Throughout its operation, Zabadul has also carried out conservation efforts, such as releasing rehabilitated animals back into the wild, and participating in rescue programs for injured animals from various areas. Furthermore, it collaborates with other institutions, local organizations, and government agencies to advance its mission of conserving and protecting the wildlife and natural resources of Puerto Rico.

Not only does Zabadul offer educational programs and interactive experiences with its inhabitants, providing valuable opportunities for people of all ages to learn about conservation and the vast spectrum of life, it also serves as a community resource, hosting events and activities that encourage people to appreciate nature and recognize its importance.

The institution is part of a larger effort to establish a culture of conservation and sustainability on the island, aiming to develop a thoughtful and responsible community that understands the importance of maintaining the delicate ecological balance that defines the natural world of Puerto Rico.
