This project was founded in 2006 in partnership with a local indigenous family that lives on rainforest land.
The project rescues and rehabilitates wild animals from the jungle that were often illegally captured for sale to tourists or were injured or mistreated by their owners. This placement is ideal for people interested in biology, animal rights, conservation, and environmental policy, Remote but beautiful, the property teems with its talkative residents: parrots, monkeys, turtles, wild cats, and other mammals who call the verdant, lush green surroundings of this idyllic tropical location home.
