The appointment must be made exclusively by email visita.ilhasolteira@ctgbr.com.br.
In addition to personal data (full name, age, CPF, RG and date and time of visit), it will be necessary to forward a copy of the Covid-19 vaccination card with the complete vaccination cycle. Confirmation of the appointment will also be made by email. To enter the CCFS, it will be mandatory to present a card with at least the 1st booster dose (or 3rd dose).
About CCFS
Created in 1979, the Wild Fauna Conservation Center (CCFS) of Ilha Solteira occupies an area of approximately 18 hectares, covered by remnants of the Semideciduous Seasonal Forest and Arboreal Savannah (Cerradão) physiognomies.
Currently, the CCFS has a herd of around 350 wild animals, belonging to more than 50 species including birds, reptiles and mammals. Several scientific researches related to endangered species are also carried out there, such as marsh deer, maned wolf, giant anteater, tapir, among others.
“One of the main objectives of the CCFS is to support and participate in scientific projects aimed at the conservation of endangered species and, when possible, to reintroduce these animals into nature, with the support of partner and specialized institutions. With the resumption of the visits program, we reinforce this purpose of socio-environmental education and awareness”, says Simone Santos, Environmental Specialist at CTG Brasil.
