Wildlife Rescue Center

Why Wildlife Rescue Center Volunteer Work Project is Important

The center “Valle Alto” works with few species of monkeys, parrots, wild cats, reptiles and more.The main objective is to release the animals back to the wild when it’s possible.Twice a year the center makes a trip in Amazon to transfer to amazonian animals which have been trafficked illegally previously.
Since the beginning, the center released a group of 8 howler monkeys on his land, some birds, parrots and others animals (squirrels, armadillos,…) and wild cats in protected areas.It’s not a touristic place, the center will only receive volunteers who want to help, and scientists who want to investigate about wildlife.
