Much is being done to protect the Giant Otter. In 1973, CITES classified the Giant Otter as endangered and banned all trade pelts. The Philadelphia zoo opened up the first North American exhibit of Giant Otters in order to increase public awareness. Finally, a sanctuary for Giant Otters and other native endangered species was created in 1995. It is an 81510 acre lot on the Duroche Ranch, and was created by the Nature Conservancy with Ecotropica.
