Some people called Dada a funny seabird, even a penguin at one time, but for us, Dada will always be our princess. Today, with broken hearts, we announce that Dada is no longer with us. 😔

Dada was a resident of the sanctuary for 6 years, where she spent her days enjoying food, taking walks, and spending time with her best friend, Bobo.
If you ever had the opportunity to meet her, you know she always made people smile with her funny walk and distinctive wing.

❤️ The sanctuary will never be the same without Dada. We will take good care of Bobo for you.

We will miss you deeply.

Swipe to see Kembi´s transformation

😯 We can't believe Kembi has been under our care for one year. Kembi is one of those animals that stole everyone's hearts with her unique looks.

🐵 Just a small recap of Kembi's story: she was found in La Ceiba, crying all alone. Kembi had a severe case of mange—her body was covered in scabs, and she was skinny and dehydrated. We were to be extremely careful with who was taking care of her due to the risk of transmission to other animals, but with the right care, we were able to cure her.

😅 Kembi began losing her hair little by little until she had none. For a moment, we thought she wouldn’t grow it back, but now, a year later, she is a very fluffy howler monkey.

🍌 Now she is a monkey with a lot of attitude, loves to eat bananas & sweet potatoes, and jumps around.

🥹 She will be moving soon with the big monkeys and will be reunited with her old bestie, Gombe. We want to thank everyone who supported her during this time as well as those who took care of her.

Stay tuned for more news about Kembi!

🐾 Baby Raccoon Rescue Update!

🥰 Two weeks ago, we rescued three tiny baby raccoons who were found on a rooftop, dehydrated and hungry, with no mother in sight. Thankfully, they are now thriving in our care! These little ones have transformed into three chubby raccoons who love to eat and nap all day long.

Our amazing nursery team is still looking after them.

🥖 Now, we need your help! We’re planning to name them after types of bread, so drop your favorite bread names in the comments below!

Can’t wait to see what you come up with!

RESCUE ALERT 🚨 graphic content ahead ⚠

Yesterday morning, we faced a critical situation. At 6 AM, the authorities contacted us urgently after confiscating 10 green sea turtles and 138 eggs from poachers in Limón.

🩺 Thanks to our team's experience and the generous support from our donors last year, we were fully prepared for such an emergency. The pools were ready, the water pump—purchased with funds from last year’s rescue campaign—was checked and running, and our veterinary team was on standby.

🌊 As the turtles arrived, one by one, we carefully placed them in their recovery pools. Unfortunately, all of them had suffered from being tied up, which caused open wounds on their fins. As part of our standard procedure, we scanned each turtle for microchips, and we discovered that one of them had been tagged by an organization in Tortuguero in 2021.

🩹 Afterwards, our veterinary team immediately treated the injuries, along with harpoon wounds and scratches on their shells. These injuries were inflicted by the poachers who left the turtles flipped upside down to die, intending to sell their meat and eggs for consumption and use their shells for jewelry and other trade purposes.

🤞🏼 Right now, these sea turtles are receiving specialized care. We're incredibly grateful to our supporters. This is an occasion to witness how contributions have lasting effects—thanks to generous donors, the equipment purchased last year is still making a real difference today, allowing us to respond swiftly and effectively in emergencies like this.

💡 Poaching continues to pose a serious threat to green sea turtles every year. Raising community awareness is key to their protection, and we believe that, together, with the JRC Community, we can create a lasting impact for future generations.

A special thanks to the Fuerza Pública de Costa Rica and the GAO (Grupo de Apoyo Operacional de la Policía) for their help in transporting the turtles and assisting us in safely moving them into the pools.

⚠️ graphic content ahead ⚠️

💫 Last week, we took a silky anteater to our Primary Release Station. In case you've never heard of this animal, it is the smallest anteater species. Many people mistake adult silky anteaters for babies because they only grow to about 36 to 45 cm in length.

😮 This poor anteater fell from a tree when people were cutting branches with a machete and accidentally hit him. They brought him to us right away. He had a wound on his neck, but thankfully, it wasn't deep. The vets disinfected and bandaged the wound, cleaning it daily until it began to heal.

🌳 With the wound almost closed, we decided to take him to La Ceiba, where he will stay for a few more days to adapt. Once he's ready, we’ll open his enclosure in the forest, where we hope he can stay safe. 🤞

💖 Your support helps us continue to care for and rehabilitate animals like this silky anteater. Please consider donating to ensure these precious creatures get the second chance they deserve in the wild.

Today is a special day at the center because it’s the birthday of our beloved queen, Xai. 👑

🦌 If you don't know who Xai is, let us tell you a bit about her: Xai arrived at the center 14 years ago as a newborn. Her story is reminiscent of Bambi's. When we first rescued her, her umbilical cord was still attached, and tragically, her mother had fallen victim to poaching.

✨ From that moment, we promised to give Xai all the love and care she deserved. For more than a decade, she has called JRC her home, and we can’t deny it—she’s our little spoiled princess.

😅 If you ever visit the center, you might catch her wandering around, sharing her food with the little agoutis, a sight that never fails to warm our hearts.

🎉 Happy birthday, Xai!

🤩 In August, we were deeply touched by a generous donation from one of our former volunteers Brigitte Baldo, who fell in love with our mission during her time with us. Her incredible support has enabled us to purchase a new hematology analyzer for our veterinary hospital.

🤔 You might wonder, why is this machine so important?

🩸 The hematology analyzer allows us to perform complete blood counts, giving us detailed insights into the overall health of the animals we care for. It provides quick and accurate information about red and white blood cells, platelets, hemoglobin, and hematocrit levels—vital data that helps our veterinary team diagnose and treat our rescued animals with precision and care.

❤ We are filled with gratitude for this donation, which will significantly improve the quality of care we can offer to the animals that come through our doors. Words cannot fully express how much this means to us and the animals whose lives it will touch.

🐒 Happy International Primate Day!

Did you know chimpanzees share about 98% of their DNA with us? They’re almost like family! 🧬

🌳 Today reminds us to protect these amazing creatures and their habitats. Many primates are endangered due to deforestation and illegal trade. Let’s raise awareness and support conservation efforts to help our primate cousins thrive!

☹️ We come again with another story of an ocelot whose freedom was taken away.

🐾 This ocelot was kept as a pet for over a year in a small cage. Keeping wildlife as pets often leads to suffering for the animals, as their complex needs for space, diet, and social interaction cannot be adequately met in captivity, resulting in abnormal behaviors.

🐆 Our vet team gave him a full check-up to make sure he was okay, we learned he is a healthy juvenile ocelot. He is currently in quarantine; we still need to run some tests on him before he can start his rehabilitation process to ensure he can return to the wild.

💫 We will keep you updated on his progress as he moves through his rehabilitation journey.

🕸 New Rescue baby spider monkey

😅 Last week, we shared the journey of Tyrion, a spider monkey who was under our care for two years. Since Tyrion, we hadn't had any other baby spider monkeys until Monday.

👽 This tiny alien is only a few weeks old. He was found alone in Manzanillo and had likely been on the ground for some time, as he was covered with insects.

🩺 When he first arrived at the center, our vet team immediately gave him a full-body check to ensure he had no wounds. Then, they proceeded to weigh him ( he is the smallest spider monkey we have ever rescued) and clean him up. He was very skinny and dehydrated, so we gave him fluids and placed him in an incubator to help regulate his body temperature.

🍼 We tried to give him some milk, but he didn’t want to eat at first. After the first night, however, his appetite improved. He is still having trouble sleeping at night because he needs to be fed every few hours.

🤔 We still don't have a name for him, so any suggestions are welcome. Of course, we will keep you updated on his rehabilitation progress.

😮‍💨 Yesterday afternoon was quite busy at the center. In less than two hours, we received six babies. First, MINAE brought us a baby two-fingered sloth whose mother had tragically passed away. The little one was severely dehydrated, with larvae in its fur.

🐿 Next, we rescued a baby squirrel who had fallen from a tree. Her mom was nowhere to be found. She’s a bit thin, and her eyes are still closed.

🐒 Then, a baby spider monkey was found all alone in Manzanillo. He was covered in larvae eggs and shivering from the cold.

🦝 Finally, we took in three baby raccoons who had been living on a rooftop. Their mother had left, leaving them all alone. They were dehydrated and hungry.

💪 Our nursery team has their hands full, but we're committed to giving each of these little ones the care they need. If you’d like to help support their recovery, please consider donating. Every little bit helps to give these babies a fighting chance.

🕸 Do you remember Tyrion? He was just a baby spider monkey when we rescued him on April 3rd, 2021. So tiny, with such a big head—he looked like a little alien, we won’t lie.

🐵 Tyrion’s journey under our care was a long one. For the first two years of his life, he stayed at the center with other howler monkeys, all part of our rehabilitation program. Like all the babies, he began his rehabilitation in the nursery, surrounded by other monkeys his age. Then, it was time for him to move to "monkey preschool," where he started interacting with older howler monkeys, learning to socialize, swing, and climb.

🥳 With some time he was getting wilder than the other monkeys his age, so we knew it was time for him to move to the next stage of rehabilitation.

🌳 In March 2023, Tyrion was moved to our Release Station at La Ceiba. There, he had an enclosure deep in the forest, where he could get used to the sounds of the wild, new scents, and a completely different environment. Every day, we opened the door of the enclosure, allowing him to explore the forest and socialize with the wild spider monkeys from La Ceiba.

🥹 Then, on April 1st, 2024, Tyrion decided it was time to move on. He took off with a wild troop of spider monkeys, and we haven’t seen him since. But we do see a wild troop around the area, and we hope, with all our hearts, that Tyrion is with them.

✨ We have many remarkable rewilding stories like Tyrion. Thanks to our donors' support, we can continue rehabilitating animals and giving them a second chance.

🍗 Mealtime is usually an animal's favorite time of the day, but Popsicle gets crazy every time she smells her food. Let's just say she doesn’t have the best manners. In case you haven’t figured out what kind of animal Popsicle is, she’s a baby coati.

🐾 Popsicle needed our help right away, as she had bald spots on her fur, especially on her head. Our vet team examined her and confirmed that her skin condition was caused by mange. The veterinarians have been applying antibiotic cream to her skin and giving her medication. Now, after three weeks, her fur is growing back and she is mange-free. 🥳

😅 Also, don’t let her cuteness fool you—Popsicle is still a wild animal. She’s energetic, playful, and quite feisty. She still needs our care for feeding and skin treatments, but once she’s bigger, she’ll move to a new enclosure and transition to the next step of her rewilding process, which is the rehabilitation area.

🦝 It has been a while since our nursery has cared for so many raccoons. These messy little ones are very common in the area, and today, you will meet Roquette and the siblings Naan and Roti.

💫 Roquette is the smallest in this group. She came in dehydrated and hungry. Unfortunately, Roquette's mother was nowhere to be found.
Naan and Roti had a rough start. Sadly, both were found on a roof next to their deceased mother. We don’t know exactly how long she had been dead, but they needed food and a thorough clean-up.

🐾These three raccoons have been doing amazingly well during the past few weeks at the center. The siblings are very energetic and curious, while Roquette is still a bit shy. But it's just a matter of time before they all start getting messy together.

✨Thanks to your donations, we can continue rescuing, rehabilitating, and rewilding animals. Consider donating today and make a direct impact on the journey of these babies.

🤔 How much do you know about coatis?

🐾 Coatis are often mistaken for raccoons, but we like to think of them as long-lost cousins with extra flair! With their long, striped tails and cute pointy noses, they’re pros at sniffing out tasty treats.

🧊 Ice, one of our coatis, just moved to our rehabilitation area! He’s got a spacious enclosure to practice his climbing skills—coatis are such great climbers that they even sleep in trees, staying safe and cozy high above the ground.

🪵 Ice is getting closer to being rewilded! When he’s ready, we’ll take him to La Ceiba, where he’ll live in an enclosure deep in the forest to get used to all the natural smells, sounds, and sights.

🤗 Stay tuned for more updates on Ice’s journey back to the wild!

🤩 Today, we bring you the story of Cocopops, a resilient female howler monkey who arrived at the center after being electrocuted. She came in shock, with her left hand badly burned. Cocopops had exposed tissue and bone, as well as a cut on her lip and near her eye.

🩺 Our vets acted immediately to ensure Cocopops would be okay. They carefully cleaned, disinfected, and dressed her wounds, and initiated laser treatment on her hand. This laser treatment not only accelerated the healing process but also made it less painful for her. With each session, held every three days, we watched the tissue around her hand begin to regenerate.

🌳Cocopops was a fighter, and today, we are overjoyed to share that after three months of dedicated care, we successfully rewilded her at our release station, La Ceiba.
We invite you to learn more about how we're helping prevent electrocution through our Shock Free Zone Program.

🐜 Let us introduce you to Leny, a juvenile tamandua. Leny was exploring the garden of a house when the owner noticed he had a wound on his nose. Although we could not determine the exact cause of the wound, our team ensured it healed properly.

In the first couple of days, Leny had some trouble eating. He didn’t have the biggest appetite, but as soon as we brought him some fresh termites, he devoured them right away.

🌳 Leny is currently in one of our enclosures in the rehabilitation area, where he is receiving environmental enrichment, all the termites he wants, and our special smoothies for tamanduas.

✨If you’d like to help support Leny’s recovery and ongoing care, please consider making a donation. Your support makes a big difference!

Look how big Ginger and Wasabi are! ✨

🦌 In case you have never seen this duo, they are red brocket deer. Both of them lost their moms due to poaching and were kept as pets. Ginger arrived first in October 2022 and was our first-ever red brocket deer, followed by Wasabi in July 2023.

🥰 From the moment they met, it was love at first sight, and they have kept each other company ever since. Red brocket deer are typically solitary creatures, preferring to live alone or in pairs rather than in herds. However, these two found each other and formed a special bond.

💫Help us continue to provide a safe and loving home for Ginger, Wasabi, and other animals in need. Please consider donating today!

🐊 Meet Crocs, a baby crocodile

🌴 Crocs is an American crocodile, found on the beach all by itself. Although Crocs didn't have any injuries, it was very skinny. At this age and size, they face many predators in the wild. This little one will be under our care while we help him gain weight and grow before we can reintroduce him into the wild.

💧 Fun fact: Baby American crocodiles are not only excellent swimmers right from birth, but they can also hold their breath underwater for up to two hours, making them incredible little survivors!

🍯 Sashimi and Mochi are not the babies we introduced to you in late April. They are now in rehabilitation with another kinkajou you might remember named Kimchi. The three of them are roommates; they share food and housing. If you lift up their housing, you can see the three of them on top of each other in the corner.

😍 We were worried about how Kimchi would react to two new kinkajous joining him, but he was very enthusiastic and welcoming.

🤔 It's been a while since we have had so many kinkajous together. They typically live alone or in small groups. They do have social interactions, particularly during the breeding season, but they often prefer a solitary lifestyle.

✨We will keep you posted on how they are doing so stay tuned.

🐵 Meet Moyo, a baby howler monkey!

🥺 Moyo came to the center after he was found alone on the floor. He had a wound on his right arm, and we are not certain what caused it. He cannot use it, and it hurts him when he moves it.

🩹 He has several cuts that our vet team disinfected, applied antibiotic spray, and bandaged to protect the wounds.
Besides the treatment, Moyo received vitamins and fluids to keep him hydrated. He is getting daily care on his arm until the wounds heal.

✨A baby like Moyo can stay under our care for up to 2 and a half years, following our rehabilitation process. You can sponsor him or others like him by donating. Your donations help us with care, medicine, and food for the animals.

🍃 We rescued a baby roadside hawk last week!

This little one was very skinny and could barely walk when we found him. He cannot use his left paw because his little fingers are closed, like in a fist. We're not sure what happened, but we're helping him to ensure he can walk and, eventually, fly. 🪶

😮 Did you know?
Baby hawks rely on their parents for food and protection until they are capable of hunting on their own. We will have to teach this little one how to hunt and help him develop his wild instincts like his parents would.

✨In the meantime, with your support, we can provide the care he needs. Your help can make all the difference—please consider donating at the next link.

Do you remember Klaus? 🍌

🐒 He is a capuchin monkey who has been part of the JRC since March 2023. He has followed several steps of rehabilitation so far. Klaus started in our nursery, moved to the monkey preschool, and now he is part of our monkeys in the forest.

🌳 Klaus and the others live in our monkey enclosure in the forest. This enclosure is vital for the rehabilitation of our primates; it allows them to be closer to nature and have less contact with humans. They can adapt to new smells, sounds, and surroundings.

🤩 This enclosure has dormitories for the monkeys to sleep in at night and a large area for them to use in the morning before heading into the forest. It has been one of our goals to have this enclosure, and thanks to Rainforest Concern , we were able to fulfill this dream last year.

💖 We want to give them a big thank you for their amazing donation and for helping us give these animals and future ones a second chance.

🍌 Our monkey preschool is always changing. Monkeys are getting bigger and need to be moved with the big ones, and we rescue new ones who will join the preschool when they are ready. 🐵 Right now, our preschool has five baby monkeys: Gombe, who is the biggest and will soon be moved with the big ones; Kembi, whose story we have shared with you since she arrived in September; Kala, the baby capuchin monkey; and Wim and Bruna, who came around the same time, both having lost their moms. 🥺 It’s our job to take care of them, monitor their behavior while they are interacting with each other, and ensure they are eating and getting the proper vitamins. ✨ Your donation can make a world of difference in their rehabilitation.

Let’s hope for the best for Ice’s future. We will give you updates on his rehabilitation.

Have you ever wondered what kind of leaves the animals at the center eat? 🌿 Whether it's churristate, papaya, or almond leaves, the nutritional needs of the animals differ radically from one species to another. To ensure that every animal at the sanctuary has enough to eat, Luis is THE reference when it comes to stocking up on leaves at the center. Fetching them daily, making sure they're fresh, and distributing them among the center's various needs - these are just a few examples of his missions. To find out more, discover how to choose and cut leaves for our animals with Luis in the front-page story! 🦎

Dive into a world of enrichment with us! 🌳 💡 Learn the vital role that enrichment plays in the well-being of the animals we rescue at the JRC.

🌍 Happy Earth Day! Let's remember today the importance of preserving and respecting the wildlife that shares our planet. When we encounter wild animals, it's essential to adopt responsible behavior to ensure their well-being and preserve their natural habitat.🌷 Here are some simple guidelines to keep in mind: 🔎 Observing from a distance: It's crucial to respect wild animals' space by observing them from a distance. Don't try to get too close or disturb them in their natural environment. Don't feed wild animals: Their natural diet is better suited to their nutritional needs, and feeding them can disrupt their natural diet and cause health problems. ⛰️ Do not disturb the natural habitat : avoid leaving waste or destroying their environment. Respect protected areas and local regulations concerning wildlife conservation. Report emergencies : if you encounter a wild animal in distress or witness illegal activity involving wild animals, report it to the relevant authorities or wildlife protection organizations for help. But above all, be amazed! 🦚🌟

Margay in La Ceiba

We want to express our gratitude to everyone for their unwavering support following the loss of our beloved Maelle. While we mourn her passing, we find comfort in knowing that her spirit lives on and that she would be glad to see other animals getting the chance to thrive in the wild. 🫶 Take this margay, for instance. Rescued by the JRC team, in November, from a life as a pet. Through months of dedicated rehabilitation efforts, we were able to prepare her for a new life in the wild. She was taken to La Ceiba Release Station, a sprawling 54-hectare primary forest, where she now gets the opportunity for a fresh start. 🌳 Since her release, our trail cameras have captured glimpses of her new life in the wilderness. Seeing her live her best life, in her natural habitat, fills us with joy and gratitude. ✨

Meet Tatou, the armadillo.

✨ Meet Tatou, the armadillo. Tatou is a nine-banded armadillo who arrived at the JRC on December 21st. He came with several wounds on his back and tail; we believe a dog attacked him. Tatou arrived in a poor condition and couldn’t move properly. ☹️ With the care of our vet team and a lot of rehabilitation, he started to move his back legs again. We moved Tatou to a new enclosure last week where he could move more freely. 🍃 💫 Tatou will stay with us a bit longer until we can rewild him. Your support is vital in helping animals like Tatou recover and thrive. Please consider donating to support our efforts in rehabilitating wildlife. https://cutt.ly/P2kLoix

Meet Oli & Lala, the scarlet macaws. 🌈 We rescued them last November after they were kept as pets. Oli & Lala will be part of our macaw team alongside Pannettone, Scalert & Jaquelin. Despite being younger, we're eager to see if they are ready to embrace new siblings. ❤️💙💚 Due to their past life as pets, they lack wild instincts, such as knowing how to find food or survive independently. That's why they will stay as residents at our sanctuary. ✨ If you are a bird lover, consider supporting Oli and Lala by donating. https://cutt.ly/P2kLoix

Mom and baby sloth reunion

🥹 Guess what? We just had another wonderful mom and baby sloth reunion, and it was beyond heartwarming. 🦥 So, we went to the rescue of this adorable baby sloth at Playa Negra after it fell from a tree. We spotted the mom was up there, but she seemed a bit hesitant to come down. We brought the baby to our clinic for a checkup, and, luckily, the baby was perfectly healthy and ready to go back to its mom. 🤩The very next day, our team returned with our “Speaker Method” to catch mom’s attention. And guess what? It worked again! She started descending from the tree, eager to reunite. When the baby got a sniff of its mom, it dashed straight for some munchies, which was totally unexpected but so heartwarming! ❤️ Seeing them together again, like always, was emotional beyond words. ✨If you are interested in having a direct impact on a baby rescue, consider donating to our Giving Tuesday Campaign.

Giving Tuesday

The nursery is a vital part of the JRC because babies, no matter what species, they need constant love and care. 🥹 🫶🏻 It is a priority in the nursery to make every baby feel safe and provide the resources they need to someday make it back to the wild, even after experiencing the devastating loss of their mothers so early on in their lives. Join us this Giving Tuesday to help the babies, donate today and have a direct impact on their journey https://shorturl.at/crsBR
