Testimonial by Tony Martinez

“FAUNA, art and biology merge at this unique Upper West Side location. As far back as memory serves, I have been involved in animal husbandry. With a menagerie of exotic animals too extensive to list, little did I know that when I walked into Fauna less than a year ago, I would embark upon a wonderful journey of art meets conservation biology.

After an initial meeting with Daniel Kopulos, so fascinated was I by his passion and expertise, that I immediately retained his services as designer and architect of a vivarium that would change my life.

Thanks to Daniel and his dedicated team at Fauna, at 60 years of age, I have found a new passion – poisonous dart frogs.

In my Manhattan apartment, he created the most spectacular tropical rain forest, and precision ecosystem that I am sure exceeds the wildest dreams of any aficionado.

For the true origin of species, forget the Galapagos Islands. One need not travel any further than Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Darwin himself would have been awe inspired!”
