WHO WE ARE?Kids Saving the Rainforest is a non-profit organization based in Quepos, Costa Rica.
We operate a wildlife sanctuary that is home to nearly 50 animals who cannot be released back into the wild, and we offer educational tours to the public of our rescue center that rescues over 100 animals each year, and our primary goal is rehabilitating these animals to be released back into the wild. to help people learn about the dangers of human-wildlife interaction, the pet trade, etc, and to teach them how to respect wildlife and to engage in ecologically responsible tourism. |

Kids Saving the Rainforest wouldn't be where it is today without the help from our amazing volunteers! Volunteers have the opportunity to work with our full-time Kids Saving the Rainforest staff.
Volunteers also help monitor, observe, and care for the wild animals that we host at our Sanctuary. If you have a passion for wildlife and want to have a positive effect on the world today, check out our volunteer program details! |
The Animals of the Rainforest need your help!
PLEASE DONATE TO PURCHASE A MUCH NEEDED
DIGITAL X-RAY MACHINE
Right now we are raising funds to be able to purchase a DIGITAL X-RAY machine for our rescue center. Having an X-RAY machine on site is crucial for us to help save so many animals’ lives. Most of the animals we receive require X-rays, but unfortunately, we can only do them on the animals whose lives depend on them. This is because the closest X-ray machine to our vet clinic is one hour away. So every time an injured animal requires an X-ray, we need to find transportation to transfer the animal and drive with them for over 60km to get the X-ray taken, then do the whole trip again to bring them back.
YOU CAN DELIVER LIFE AND HOPE TO ANIMALS
When the animals first arrive at our rescue center, they are very stressed, scared and in pain and require immediate attention. Transporting them in a vehicle for one hour in their delicate condition creates more trauma and puts the animal in even more danger of dying. It’s extremely critical that we are able to act fast and get X-rays in order to help save these animals lives. Having to waste valuable time coordinating for transportation and transporting the animal one hour is something we don’t want to do. Sadly, many times the animal has died during the transportation to the X-ray machine - before we have even been able to do anything for them. With your help, we can raise funds to get an X-ray machine and be able to diagnose the animals in time and act on it immediately. Giving the animals a better chance and making them more comfortable while they are already battling for their lives.
SPECIFICALLY, ALL FUNDS RAISED WILL GO TOWARDS:
1. Digital X-ray Machine. This includes the X-RAY Digitizer, X-RAY Generator and the stand for it.
2. Veterinarian software, computer, and monitor to evaluate the images.
3. Table for the patient.
4. Protective apparel for radiation: 2 lead aprons and 2 lead collars for the staff to safely use the machine.
5. Building a small diagnostic room for the machine.
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for any amount of support you can give the animals. Not to mention how grateful the animals will be that you are making their fight to survive a lot easier! Join us in this great cause and being part of our team to help the animals in Costa Rica!
