"AkvaRīga": a sanctuary for aquatic animals

At the "ZooExpo 2023" exhibition, it will be possible to see the "AkvaRīga" water turtle. Find out how it came into the care of "AkvaRīga", what it needs to live healthy and the most popular myths about this type of animal.

Visit the stand to get a free consultation on the care of aquatic animals, learn about the operation of the animal shelter and receive seasonal "AkvaRīga" postcards in exchange for donations.

"AkvaRīga" is the only aquatic pet sanctuary in the European Union.
The shelter offers rehabilitation for abandoned aquatic pets, as well as advises on their basic care. The long-term goal of "AkvaRīga" is to become the first humane aquarium in the world.
