Are you an artist looking for an exciting opportunity to showcase your talent and contribute to a meaningful cause?

Look no further! We are thrilled to announce the Call For Artists 2023, an incredible event that brings together artists worldwide to support and raise awareness for important causes. Here’s everything you need to know about this art contest and fundraiser.

2023 Toucan Rescue Ranch’s Call for Artists will fund our WildMed Fund for THREE MONTHS. This encompasses medicine, procedures such as X-rays, and medical supplies!

About the WildMed Fund

Toucan Rescue Ranch’s WildMed Fund is a program that provides medical care and rehabilitation to injured and orphaned wildlife in Costa Rica. The fund supports rescuing and rehabilitating animals such as toucans, sloths, monkeys, and other species impacted by habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict, and other threats. 

The WildMed Fund pays for X-Rays, medicine, and important procedures such as orthopedic surgery, amputations, and CAT scans for injured wildlife. Donations to the fund go directly towards the care and treatment of the animals and the development of new programs and initiatives to protect and conserve wildlife in Costa Rica.

Nurturing our Planet: 2023 CFA Theme

Toucan Rescue Ranch’s wildlife clinic fosters nurturing injured wildlife by providing a safe and secure environment for them to heal – which is the inspiration behind this year’s art theme. 

Toucan Rescue Ranch has a rehabilitation center where animals can recover and regain their strength before being released into the wild. The vet staff supports our educational programs and outreach initiatives to raise awareness about the importance of wildlife conservation and the impact of human activities on the environment. 

By providing a nurturing environment for injured wildlife, Toucan Rescue Ranch’s wildlife clinic is helping to ensure the survival of many species that might otherwise be lost forever.
