Our organic farm in Playa Ocotal, Guanacaste, Costa Rica is a natural habitat for both howler and white face monkeys, parrots and other wildlife. We understand what permaculture and sustainability are all about. Therefore, we welcome the monkeys and cherish them as part of the natural environment we live in.

However, there is an ever increasing demand for a monkey rescue and rehabilitation center in this area.  Most commonly the monkeys fall victim to the un-insulated power lines we have built across their land, but they also are victims of attacks by dogs or other monkeys, falling and breaking bones, and sometimes babies get abandoned by their mothers for various reasons.

Furthermore, every year during the dry-season (January-March) violent human-initiated wildfires destroy the trees the monkeys feed on and force the monkeys to flee from their homes.

We have set out to prove that people can co-exist with the animals by nurturing the land we all live on.

If you are interested in hearing how we plan to tackle this invigorating long-term challenge, take a look at the plan of action.
