- Guatemala
About Program
Animal lovers, conservationists and scientific researchers alike are invited to this special sanctuary in the remote northern region of Guatemala. The centre is situated on 45 hectares of forested land in the Mayan Biosphere Reserve, and is home to a number of species including Parrots, Macaws, Spider and Howler monkeys, Margays, Ocelots, Coatimundis, Taras and Kinkajous.
Nearly all of these animals have been seized from smugglers and are very young, needing constant care and attention. As you help these animals rehabilitate back into the wild you will get very close to some of the most unique species on the planet. In addition to feeding and caring for the animals there are opportunities for research at the centre, ensuring that your time at the Centre is tailored to your personal and career goals.
