Rainforest Wildlife Rescue Center
Program Overview
Ecuador is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world, home to monkeys, reptiles, exotic birds, wild cats, and over 15,000 unique plant and animal species that are all at risk.
Our wildlife volunteer project in the Amazon jungle offers a unique opportunity to actively participate in the rescue and rehabilitation of these wild animals.
The main goal of the project is to rescue and rehabilitate animals that have been victims of trafficking or mistreatment, or those kept in inappropriate environments (e.g., small cages, tourist attractions). The most commonly trafficked groups are primates, birds, and reptiles.
The rescue center operates in close collaboration with the Environmental Police (UPMA) and the Ministry of Environment. Operating since 2006, the center is located within several hectares of primary Amazon forest. Volunteers work safely within the rescue center itself, where animals are brought by the Environmental Police or other committed individuals.
