Donate

We work hard every day to move our operations toward long-term financial sustainability.
Donations play a crucial role in shaping the future of our Rescue Center and Sanctuary, as well as wildlife conservation efforts in the Guanacaste region and across Costa Rica.

Your support is invaluable, and your contribution will create a lasting impact for generations to come.

Here's how you can help through our sponsorship program!

Ecosystem

$500

Support our Wildlife Conservation and Management programs: infant care, post-release animal monitoring, and emergency care.

You’ll also contribute to our Environmental Education efforts in nearby communities.

Donate

Habitat

$100

By donating to this category, you help us rebuild and improve the homes of many of the animals living in our Sanctuary. Our facilities are over 20 years old, and while we’ve made progress building new enclosures and infrastructure, several areas still need renovation.

Donate

Species

$50

The Sanctuary offers a second chance to animals that, due to the severity of their condition, cannot be returned to the wild.

By sponsoring one of our permanent residents, you help cover their annual needs—food, medicine, and habitat maintenance.

Donate

Footprint

$25

Small contributions that help us purchase essential supplies for the daily operations of the Sanctuary and Rescue Center.
These include essential items like water and food bowls, hoses, brooms, heating pads, infant formula, transport crates, and more.

Amazon Wish List

Some of the products and materials we use for the care, raising, and enrichment of the animals are difficult to find in Costa Rica or are very expensive.

That’s why we’ve created an Amazon Wish List, where you can view the items we need most. If you’re able, you can purchase something in your home country and bring it with you when you visit our Sanctuary.

Every item you bring is a direct contribution to the well-being of our wildlife.
