Meet the animals your support keeps safe.
Every resident has a story. Every rescue takes time, food, medicine and care. Sponsorship helps Jungla keep saying yes to the next animal that needs help.
Why sponsorship matters
You are not sponsoring a picture. You are helping fund a life.
Food, safe habitats, medicine, veterinary care and long-term rehabilitation all cost money. Some animals can be released. Others cannot safely return to the wild and remain permanent residents at Jungla.
Macaws
Casey & Patron
Casey is a handicapped scarlet macaw who cannot be released. Patron, a green-wing macaw, was rescued after people in the Darién repeatedly plucked his feathers until he could no longer produce them.
Stories like theirs are why Jungla needs long-term sponsors, not just one-time visitors.
Monkeys
Lupita & Daisy
Lupita came to Jungla after another rescue center closed. Daisy arrived after years of abuse and spent about seven years being rehabilitated.
Both became long-term residents. Their safety today is the result of years of care.
More residents
Parrots, cats, dogs, ducks and chickens all become part of the work.
Jungla’s residents are not limited to the headline animals. The center also cares for parrots, companion animals and farm animals that have needed a safe place.
Rescue has a destination
This is what rescue is working toward.
Jungla has rehabilitated and released vultures, owls, toucans, kinkajous, monkeys, squirrels and other wildlife. Every successful release is proof that care can lead somewhere beyond the sanctuary.
Help the next story happen
The next rescue has not arrived yet.
But when it does, Jungla needs to be able to say yes. Sponsorship and donations help make that possible.
