Since 2014 we have received more than 5000 animals. Our mission has always been to release them to their natural habitat. No one is left behind

Check us out on Zac Efron new series “Down to Earth” as he travels around the world focusing on sustainable living pratices, nature and green energy. We’re part of the Costa Rican episode where our co-founder Encar shows the center around to Zac and Darin and explains our mission.

June was a fantastic month of releases. Knowing that the animals, which we worked hard to rehabilitate, are back in their own environment makes all the difficulties we encountered worthwhile!

Sunday, early in the morning, we received a call about a sea turtle being stuck between two palm trees without any chance of freeing herself.

JRC wants to inform that due to Covid-19 prevention we made the decision to temporarily close the center as from tomorrow to all visitors until further notice for the safety of our animals, volunteers, workers and community.

To celebrate the #WorldWildlifeDay we shared February's special release, Zuthu and Khali, two wonderful ocelots (Leopardus pardalis) that came here after being confiscated as babies by the MINAE almost two years ago

Take a look at our 2019 statistics. These are numbers but above all they represent real stories. Both sad and happy. But they are real and the most real they can get.

We’ve developed a system to track the sloths that have been released with daily tracking in the forest. Photos by The Sloth Conservation Foundation.
