Leslie Howle

Founder

Leslie’s deep connection to wildlife began in Costa Rica, inspired by her father’s work in ecotourism. After a career in the U.S. and a transformative trip to Peru, she returned to Costa Rica to fulfill her dream of creating a bird sanctuary. What started as a bed and breakfast for friends has evolved into the Toucan Rescue Ranch, a thriving wildlife rescue center. Today, Leslie’s vision extends beyond toucans to include a diverse range of species, reflecting her enduring commitment to wildlife conservation.
