We believe that every life is valuable. Both protected and hunted animals arrive at the rescue center. No distingim entre esp\u00e8cies i els tractem a tots igual amb la m\u00e0xima responsabilitat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Si es posible, devolvemos a los animales sanos y fuertes a la naturaleza.We do not distinguish between species and treat them all equally with the utmost responsibility.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Refuge for wild animals unable to return to the wild<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes returning animals to the wild would be condemning them to certain death<\/strong>. In this case we give them a new home and take care of them for life at the wildlife refuge. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How is the wildlife refuge financed?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Since we do not receive financial support from the administration, most of our expenses are covered by the visitors’ entrance fees. The animal sponsors contribute substantially to the welfare of the animals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Environmental education<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many animals that stay in the refuge for life have altered behaviors. They are humanized. For their well-being they need daily contact with people.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They participate in educational activities oriented to the public. Visitors are amazed while we explain interesting things about nature protection, and at the same time the animals receive the attention they need to feel good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
