WHY WE DO THIS

The Mission of Kids Saving the Rainforest (KSTR), a nonprofit corporation under Section 501(c)3 US Federal Tax ID #06-1594980 is to protect the diverse wildlife of Costa Rica’s Pacific Coast by rescuing and rehabilitating wildlife, educating in conservation, conducting original scientific research, training volunteers, and promoting conservation and reforestation.

WHO WE ARE

• Kids Saving the Rainforest is a non-profit organization based in Quepos, Costa Rica
• We offer educational tours to the public of our wildlife sanctuary that is home to nearly 50 animals who cannot be released back into the wild
• We operate a rescue center that rescues over 100 animals each year
• Our primary goal is rehabilitating these animals to be released back into the wild
• We help people learn about the dangers of human-wildlife interaction, the pet trade, and much more
• We teach people 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!

SUPPORT OUR PROJECTS

Would you like to help the wildlife?
Are you coming to visit Costa Rica?

Anything that you purchase & bring from the list helps injured or orphaned wildlife on their road to recovery and release. Bonus points for using Amazon Smile and selecting KSTR as your charitable organization. The animals would be very grateful!
Unfortunately, many needed items are not available in Costa Rica, and shipping directly here is very complicated and expensive. So we often rely on the generosity of incoming visitors and volunteers to bring us some required supplies.
