Project Description and Impact
We are a Bolivian NGO, made up of a team of committed Bolivian and international professionals and volunteers. Founded in 1992, we have been a pioneer of the environmental movement in Bolivia and are recognized nationally and internationally for founding Rescue Centres dedicated to the rehabilitation of wildlife. We currently manage three Wildlife Rescue Centres: Parque Machia (Cochabamba), Parque Ambue Ari (Santa Cruz) and Parque Jacj Cuisi (Rurrenabaque, north of La Paz). Each Centre offers refuge to wild animals rescued from trafficking, offering them a better quality of life.
