The project Zoo originated in 1993 from the need to receive and properly shelter, numerous animals of the Amazon fauna that reached our Institution up North , Faculdade Integrada do Tapajos (FIT), that were rescued by local institutions. Installed in an area of 147 hectares, the 8th BEC has identified in its place more than 100 species of plants and about 54 animal species, preserved in enclosures specified by law. Today Zoofit develops the largest research project in the region,the MANATEE Project that consists of the rescue and care of animals of the species that were captured by hunters and community of coastal regions.

FIT / UNAMA has on its premises the Zoological Research Laboratory (LPZ) - one of the largest and best studies of laboratory animals in the region.
