Costa Rica is home to dense, sprawling rainforests that carpet much of the country in a thousand shades of green. Even more plentiful are the varieties of life present in this spectacular destination, from towering trees and colorful, exotic plants to jaguars, sloths, monkeys, macaws, toucans, ocelots, tapirs, and so much more. Unfortunately, despite amazing efforts made by the government and many dedicated non-profits in Costa Rica to preserve and restore the natural world, wildlife is under threat from human encroachment into their habitat. They face electrocution on power lines, being hit by cars, fed by tourists, and the illegal pet trade.

Those who can’t be released will have a better quality of life, and you’ll help those that can on their journey back out into the wild.
