About the park<\/h3>\n

Giardino Faunistico di Piano dell’Abatino is a non-profit organisation in Poggio San Lorenzo, in the Lazio region. Since 1980 it has worked as a rescue centre for wild animals in difficulty, offering refuge and care to animals injured by human activities, saved from laboratories, or no longer able to survive in the wild. Whenever possible, fully recovered animals are released back into nature, in collaboration with environmental associations and the Italian forestry authorities.<\/p>\n

Today the park cares for several hundred animals, from local mammals and birds to reptiles. It specialises in exotic species and is a sanctuary for more than 100 primates of different species. Beyond animal care, the park runs environmental education activities and carries out research in behavioural ecology together with universities and research institutes.<\/p>\n
