Location

Costa Rica: San Carlos

Description

Based on a private ecological reserve in the rain forests of northern Costa Rica, this project is tackling many issues that the small community faces. Many of Costa Ricas rescued animals are brought to the site as a permanent or temporary home until they are able to be released back in to the wild. The project also demonstrates its care for the environment through many ongoing conservation projects that help to protect the natural beauty of the rain forest.

Volunteers are needed to help in the Animal Rescue Center building cages, feeding animals, observing them and administering general care. Volunteers will also be helping out with a variety of conservation projects on the reserve including planting trees, digging ponds, and gardening.
