For over 15 years our company has been supporting the Costa Rican Environmental Ministry’s mission to care for rescued wildlife either injured or confiscated from people holding them illegally. We receive and care for the animals ONLY when the government’s representatives consider that animal to be unable to survive on its own in the wild. It is our mission to do everything possible to provide the closest environment to their natural habitats in order to promote their instinctual behaviors. We are one of a only a handful of entities licensed to do this in the country and we consider it our duty to not only educate our visitors about these magnificent creatures but to explain the challenges they face as their natural habitats are either invaded or destroyed.
