The goal of the Education Program is to contribute to the protection of wildlife and increase awareness of conservation issues.

Targeted forest rangers, police, and firefighters to teach how to properly handle certain wildlife such as raptors, parrots, sloths, monkeys, etc.

Targeted forest rangers, police, onsite interns, and firefighters to teach rescue approaches and techniques for critically injured and young wildlife.

Informative lecture and walk of TRR and its rescued wildlife for national and international audiences. These educational walks focus on conservation issues and proactive steps to maintain healthy relationships with nature and the environment.

“I am super impressed that The Toucan Rescue Ranch, Veterinarian Dr. Janet Sandi, and The Sloth Institute have joined forces to create an incredibly strong multidisciplinary team. Each brings a unique expertise to the problem of rehabilitating and releasing sloths making them uniquely qualified to take on the daunting task of getting injured Costa Rican sloths back in to the wild. I am looking forward to following their progress.”
