What makes us different

Our Work

At the Mateus Foundation, we promote the rescue, care, and specialized training needed to support wildlife conservation in Ecuador.

Our Conservation Programs

courses open to the public

We offer a free, open-access course designed to share the fundamentals and core principles of raptor management in captivity, welcoming anyone eager to learn and make a difference in wildlife care.

Professional Training Courses

Each year, we provide specialized training in the care and handling of captive wild birds, tailored for active members of the Environmental Police Unit (UPMA). These courses strengthen skills, deepen understanding, and support frontline efforts in wildlife protection.

Education for Conservation

We believe learning is at the heart of conservation. That’s why we make education a key part of our holistic approach to protecting wildlife and ecosystems.
