Saving the Rainforest, One Animal at a Time

The Toucan Rescue Ranch’s (TRR) mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and rewild Costa Rican wildlife. 

At the Toucan Rescue Ranch (TRR), our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and rewild Costa Rican wildlife affected by deforestation, illegal pet trade, and human impact. Every animal that comes through our doors has a story — of struggle, resilience, and hope. From injured toucans and orphaned sloths to displaced owls and monkeys, we provide expert care, medical treatment, and a safe space for recovery.

But our work goes beyond rescue. We’re building a future where wildlife and people coexist in harmony — through environmental education, conservation research, and community engagement. Every life we save and every person we inspire helps protect Costa Rica’s incredible biodiversity and ensures that future generations can continue to experience a thriving, wild world.

Our Impact on 2024

Every number tells a story of hope:

Each life saved, each person educated, and each release back into the wild reflects the heart of our mission.

Very informative. It is not a large place so not much walking. We spent two hours there with our guide explaining how the animals come to be rescued and why some stay and some are repatriated to the wild.
