5 Ways to Support KSTR

5 WAYS TO SUPPORT KSTR

Started by two nine-year-old girls, and supported today by millions of children and adults alike, Kids Saving the Rainforest is a non-profit organization focused on protecting Earth’s luscious rainforests and the species inside them. We work to improve education about the ecological importance of rainforests and create programs that protect their native animals. There are several successful KSTR projects to support including the Wildlife Sanctuary, Rescue Center and Reforestation Program. Here are just five of the many different ways to support us.

1. Buy something from our wishlist

Our Wish List contains items that are needed in our sanctuary to help rescued animals recover and be released back into the wild faster. Items as simple as medical scissors, kitchen scales or travel maps can all make huge differences in our fight to protect these animals. Check out our list on Amazon here.

1. Volunteer

If you can’t donate money, but still have a passion for the environment and an interest in changing the world, come volunteer with KSTR! We wouldn’t be where we are today if it weren’t for the help of all our volunteers. There are opportunities for supporters of all ages and availabilities. Come to the sanctuary for a night or stay for a month, or even enlist in our internship program! Any time that you can offer is highly valued and can you help us save the rainforest.

1. Rescue a Sloth

For just $35, you can sponsor a furry sloth friend through his rehabilitation at our sanctuary until we can release him back into the wild. KSTR has a much higher release rate than the average sanctuary, returning more than half of our animals back into the wild. For a slightly larger donation, you can also sponsor small mammals, birds, or monkeys. Check out our sponsorship page to see the other rescue options.

1. Tour our Wildlife Sanctuary

Come for a visit to see all the hard work we’ve been putting into saving the animals and restoring the rainforest to its natural glory. This tour is a great way to get up close and personal with monkeys like the endangered Titi Squirrel, Whiteface Capuchin, Spiders, Marmosets, and Tamarins! You will also see parrots and kinkajous, and experience the reason why we’re so passionate about saving these wonderful creatures.

1. Organize a fundraiser

Set up your own fundraising event to inspire donations from the community, but get creative with it! A tree planting event is a great way to interest others in KSTR and leave a lasting impact. Ask a local nursery to donate or discount some saplings and organize some friends and shovels and plant them for community members in exchange for a small donation. Use a free event planning tool to keep track of your donations and share your event online.

Any way that you can offer your support can go a long way and is greatly appreciated. Check out the “Our Projects” tab on our website for more information and to learn how important the work that you’re supporting is.
