“Don't be an accomplice of illegal wildlife trade, don't purchace animals, don't treat them like your pet, don't violate their natural habit. Your house is not their home even though you can help them.” - Hernán Orellana, 2012

For this purpose, we provide specialized care for the welfare of the animal, by promoting scientific research and offering a message of environmental awareness to general public.

2023 at Care of Rescued Wildlife

2023 at Care of Rescued Wildlife

This volunteering experience hugely relies on the other volunteers. In my experience it was only me and one other person, and that other person made my time very unenjoyable. If this is the case there is no escape, not only do you have to work with them you also have to live with and do other ...

The Zookeepers, Vincente and Heime, were very nice and friendly. The girls who prepared your food at the ...
