About Kids Saving The Rainforest

Although the organization was started by two 9-year-old girls who wanted to help raise money for rainforest conservation, the organization has grown up over the years and is a well-established resource for rainforest animals. At their wildlife rescue center they care for injured and orphaned wild animals with the aim of rehabilitating them to be released back in the jungle. They maintain an animal sanctuary (for the long-term care of animals that are not able to survive in the wild), they spearhead in reforestation projects, education projects, and fund the creation of local rope “monkey-bridges” that allow monkeys to cross roads without getting electrocuted on power lines.


A Snapshot of Manuel Antonio

Manuel Antonio is a small national park that is teeming with wildlife and botanical biodiversity. Animals often venture beyond the boundaries of the park and risk electrocution from power lines, injury from cars and traffic, and illegal capture. Kids Saving The Rainforest is a safe haven for injured and orphaned animals, as well as an advocate to help minimize threats and to preserve this beautiful habitat and protect the animals that call it home.


Volunteering at Kids Saving The Rainforest

Kids Saving The Rainforest often welcomes volunteers to help staff maintain enriched rainforest habitat for animals; harvest and prepare food, create enrichment toys, prep cages, repair enclosures, observe animal behavior and organize supplies. Larger groups may help maintain trails and reforestation projects as well. Please note: for the well-being of the animals, one day volunteers are not permitted to enter cages or have any physical contact with animals.
