🕸 New Rescue baby spider monkey
🕸 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.
Update Ice the coati
🤔 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!
Rewild of a Howler Monkey
🤩 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.

🍌 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. Please consider supporting our mission and giving these little ones a brighter future.
🧊Let us introduce you to Ice, the baby coati!Our team went to rescue Ice a few days ago in Manzanillo. He was alone, crying for his mom, who sadly we couldn’t find.😕 During his general checkup, he was weak, shaking at times, and cold. We placed him inside an incubator to help him get warm and gave him some fluids to keep him hydrated.🥹 Ice is doing better now; he is active and eating very well. 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! 🦎

🌍 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.

Meet Oli & Lala, the scarlet macaws.
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.
