Rainsong Wildlife Sanctuary and Penjamo Community Wildlife Refuge are being
created on the southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula, on the North Pacific Coast
of Costa Rica. The Sanctuary and Wildlife Hospital will be located in Cabuya, on
the edge of Costa Rica's oldest National Park, "Reserva Natural Absoluta Cabo
Blanco." Our community refuge stretches from Playa Coyote to Paquera, including
almost 3000 hectares (7500 acres) of protected habitat, a figure already larger
than the nearby Cabo Blanco Reserve, and this figure is growing rapidly as
additional property owners sign up.
Our basic goals are to create a "Community" Wildlife Refuge by gathering
signatures of conservation-minded individual landowners who are committed to
stopping hunting and providing safe habitat for animals. We are already
providing half-price seedlings of endangered hardwoods and fruit trees favored
by wildlife. We operate a badly needed regional wildlife hospital for the rescue
of injured or abandoned animals and birds, and re-introduce endangered species
to the areas where they've become extinct in the past few decades. These will
include the endangered Scarlet and Great Green Macaw, Three-toed Sloth, Spider
Monkey, Quetzal, and Baird's Tapir. |
