点评:We did not stay at the lodge, only came for lunch and visited the reserve in the afternoon. The food was not cheap and not that great (dry chicken skewer). We also did not like the main host of the restaurant. He was a bit arrogant and not very friendly. The rest of the staff was nice.
Although we were quite enthusiastic to visit the reserve. First the lemur island which looks great and the lemurs also look very healthy. The main goal of giving this lemurs a nice home (they were pets before) is very nice. Although they say that they release the newborn lemurs after some time back to the wild, but we saw many young ones and the guide told us that they almost never get new petted lemurs in..
The same with the crocodile lake. They keep about 50 of them and throw away new eggs. The staff will hatch an egg in an incubator if there is room for another crocodile. So actually it really felt like a zoo to us, not a sanctuary.
The biggest shock was when the guide showed us a cage where they now keep mossy leaf-tailed lemurs. It used to be a Fossa cage. Let me get this straight, it was a small cage of 3 bij 5meter where they kept a male and female for years to breed! And they had three of these cages! These animals had no space at all. So for a lodge that says they give petted lemurs a fine house, they are just running a zoo and kept caged fossa’s themselves for year and years. We do not support this at all. There are plenty of nationals parks nearby to see the real animals.
翻译:我们没有住在小屋里,只是来吃午饭,下午参观了保护区。食物不便宜,也不好吃(干鸡肉串)。我们也不喜欢餐厅的主人。他有点傲慢,不太友好。其他工作人员都很好。
虽然我们非常热衷于参观保护区。首先是狐猴岛,看起来很棒,狐猴看起来也很健康。给这些狐猴一个温馨的家(它们以前是宠物)的主要目标是非常好。虽然他们说他们会在一段时间后将新生狐猴放归野外,但我们看到了很多幼年狐猴,导游告诉我们他们几乎从来没有养过新的宠物狐猴。
鳄鱼湖也是一样。他们养了大约 50 只,并扔掉了新蛋。如果有空间再养一只鳄鱼,工作人员会在孵化器中孵化一枚蛋。所以实际上对我们来说,它真的感觉像一个动物园,而不是一个保护区。
最令人震惊的是,导游向我们展示了一个笼子,里面关着苔藓叶尾狐猴。它以前是一个 Fossa 笼子。让我说清楚,那是一个 3 比 5 米的小笼子,他们把一只雄性和一只雌性狐猴关在里面好几年,让它们繁殖!他们有三个这样的笼子!这些动物根本没有空间。所以,对于一个声称为宠物狐猴提供漂亮住所的旅馆来说,他们只是在经营动物园,自己把 Fossa 关在笼子里好几年。我们根本不支持这种做法。附近有很多国家公园可以看到真正的动物。
