Work-in-Progress. Amazon and Beyond is a new exhibit at the Miami Metrozoo that will celebrate life in the tropical Americas. Lyons/Zaremba is developing the narrative storyline and interpretive exhibits that explore the ecosystems of Meso America, Amazonia, and Mata Atlantica.
The exhibits will engage visitors of all ages with animals such as jaguars, harpy eagles, poison dart frogs and Amazon catfish. For each of the three ecosystems, an exhibit storyline provides younger visitors with successive storybook “chapters.” Another series of displays informs older visitors about field research taking place in tropical ecosystems and invites them to try using some of the scientists’ research tools.
