Our impact comes to life through the mindful and balanced use of our resources. From the operations at the Jardín Alado Center to our direct work with wildlife, each project is a reflection of our deep-rooted commitment to conservation and the well-being of wildlife.
We uphold the continuous operation of strategic initiatives such as Jardin Alado, ensuring their long-term sustainability as institutional pillars for environmental education and conservation.
We ensure equitable remuneration for our personnel, acknowledging their ongoing contributions to the protection and rehabilitation of wildlife.
We allocate resources to support the nutrition, veterinary care, and rehabilitation of wild animals under human custody, in alignment with best practices for animal welfare and conservation management.
We facilitate the release of eligible wildlife specimens, ensuring their return to natural habitats in accordance with established technical standards and legal frameworks.
Contributing to our cause is an act of commitment and transparency. Here's how we ensure that every contribution has a real impact:
We provide detailed and accessible reports outlining the allocation of resources, ranging from nutritional and veterinary support to the rehabilitation and reintegration of wildlife.
Each contribution plays a vital role in transforming lives, enabling the rescue, treatment, rehabilitation, and eventual release of wild animals into their natural habitats. Your support directly drives meaningful, measurable outcomes.
Support can be extended through one-time or recurring donations, strategic partnerships, solidarity-based purchases, or volunteer engagement. The choice is yours in determining how to be part of this mission.
