OUR STORY

DNO Exotic & Wildlife is a premier animal sanctuary and conservation center dedicated to showcasing the extraordinary diversity of reptiles and local species endemic to the Philippines. Born from a lifelong passion for animals and the natural world, the sanctuary is a testament to our commitment to providing a safe and nurturing environment for exotic and endemic species. What began as a personal collection has evolved into a comprehensive facility dedicated to education, conservation, and animal welfare.

DNO sets itself apart by specializing in reptiles, an often overlooked group of animals. Our goal is to showcase the incredible diversity and beauty of these fascinating creatures, challenging the misconceptions that often surround them. Unlike traditional zoos that primarily focus on common animals, DNO offers a unique experience by highlighting the different colors and breeds of reptiles and numerous exotic animals.

As a sanctuary and conservation center, DNO Exotic & Wildlife focuses on breeding, rescue, protection and preservation of Philippine endemic and endangered animals. Join us in this journey through the fascinating world of wildlife. Together, let us explore the beauty, diversity, and importance of these remarkable creatures.

We believe that education is key to conservation. In addition to the sanctuary, we offer mobile zoo programs, mall expos, and a unique animal cafe where visitors can interact with our friendly residents. Our commitment to conservation extends to partnerships with local sanctuaries and breeding programs for endemic Philippine species.
