A Sanctuary for Wild Bird Recovery

Jardín Alado is Ecuador’s only sanctuary where endangered birds are healed, protected, and given a second chance to fly.

Rescuing lives, inspiring awareness

Jardín Alado is a wildlife rehabilitation center on Quito, Ecuador. Led by biologist Paúl Tufiño, it gives injured animals, especially birds of prey, a second chance at freedom.

What does this project offer?

What makes it special?

This rehabilitation center cares for wild animals that have lost their freedom. We help them heal, regain strength, and, when possible, return to the wild where they belong.

Saving birds means rescuing lives and inspiring awareness. Each one carries a story of resilience, and each recovery reminds us of the delicate balance between humans and nature. Many arrive injured or displaced due to human actions. What we do is restore what was taken, and offer a second chance.

This is also a place where people reconnect with nature, learn about the species we protect, and witness how conservation transforms lives. Every visit supports real recovery. Every donation helps rewrite the story of an animal that deserves more. If you believe in protecting biodiversity and making a lasting impact, this is where it begins.

I come from London and I am 19 years old. In Jardín Alado, I really enjoy cleaning the turtle area and helping with the birds. They are sweet, we can feed them and take care of them. The work is hard but a lot of fun. Also, I have improved my Spanish a lot thanks to the team.

I came to Ecuador and found this project almost by chance. I have had a wonderful four weeks here. I recommend it to anyone who loves animals and wants to give back to a local community.
