This centre is run by Natütama, an NGO that works with local communities to protect the wildlife and habitats of the Amazon. A series of 70 life-size sculptures on wood gives an idea of the Amazon's aquatic creatures: river dolphins, manatees, otters, tortoises, pirarucu (the world's largest freshwater fish) are represented swimming between the trees of the tropical forest, which is flooded during high water season.
