00:00 There should be no fear of animals.
00:04 That's what a business man in Cebu wants to change in his animal sanctuary in the area.
00:10 It can also provide information about the proper care of different types of animals.
00:17 That's what Gabby Natividad wrote.
00:19 What do you think when you see a snake?
00:25 Most of the time, the public has a bad opinion of these animals.
00:30 Maybe because of their character in the mainstream media.
00:33 That's what a business man in Cebu wants to change in his animal sanctuary in Cebu.
00:40 It's called Dino Wildlife.
00:43 This animal sanctuary is trying to provide the right information to the public
00:48 about the proper care of different types of animals.
00:53 Reptiles, mammals, and other types of birds are included in this animal sanctuary.
00:59 This wildlife sanctuary consists of mammals, birds, and reptiles.
01:05 But it's more snake-focused.
01:07 I would like to educate them on things to be afraid of and not to be afraid of.
01:13 When people think of a snake, they're already afraid.
01:17 I want to turn that fear into something educative instead of just being afraid.
01:22 He insisted that this animal sanctuary is different
01:25 because it's interactive and can hold and look closely at animals.
01:30 According to him, this will encourage young and old visitors to have a better understanding of the animals there
01:39 and to be active in activities that support biodiversity.
01:45 This wildlife sanctuary will be different because it's more of an educational feature to it.
01:52 There will be animals that we cannot go near or touch,
01:56 but there will be also animals that we can go near and interact with for educational purposes.
02:04 This will provide jobs to more than 20 individuals
02:08 trained by the president of Prehistoric Company, the Reptiles U founder,
02:12 and a social media influencer, Jay Brewer,
02:16 to provide the right care to each animal in this animal sanctuary.
02:21 It is expected that the construction of the Dino Wildlife Animal Sanctuary will be completed in the first month of 2024.
02:28 Gabby Natividad, for the nation.
