Overview

KIDS SAVING THE RAINFOREST (KSTR) specializes in the rescue and release of wild rainforest animals. There are many amazing and unique success stories to hear firsthand from our animal caretaker. In addition to helping injured and abandoned animals regain their health and return to the wild there are many animals which cannot be released, and KSTR offers safe sanctuary to them.  Our unreleasable guests are given an environment in which they can thrive and enjoy life, along with great nourishment and care.  As you can imagine, this takes a good deal of time and money to run a wildlife rescue center and sanctuary primarily funded from donations, volunteer stays and tours.

We invite you to take a tour of the Kids Saving the Rainforest Wildlife Sanctuary and see in person the dedication and love it takes to help save these rainforest animals—over 130 animals every year!

Meet our precious wildlife up close
Two toed sloths, scarlet macaw, the endangered Titi Squirrel, Whiteface Capuchin, Spiders, Marmosets, and Tamarins and many more!

Our Special Wildlife Tour is from 9 AM until 11:30 AM, every day except Tuesday.
​
Two-toed sloths are ambassadors for educational purposes in the sanctuary.

You will see the following animals in the Sanctuary:

  • 5 types of monkeys, including Spider Monkeys, White Faced Monkeys, Squirrel Monkeys, Tamarins, & Marmosets
  • Coatis
  • Scarlet Macaw
  • Two toed sloths
  • Nocturnal Kinkajous (if they are awake)
  • Parrots
