PROJECT > YAGUARÁ wildlife sanctuary
Yaguará is a wildlife rescue and conservation center. Injured, orphaned, or illegally held animals are cared for here and, whenever possible, prepared for release back into the wild.
The center works to protect jaguars, pumas, tapirs, monkeys, and other animals that live in the region. Yaguará also researches these animals using camera traps and raises awareness of Osa’s extraordinary natural environment through education.
For the Wolfert students, Yaguará is a valuable place to discover how conservation works in practice. Together with students from Colegio Académico La Palma, they are working on a project about education, nature, wildlife, and the preservation of biodiversity.
The students share their ideas on how environmental education for children in Costa Rica could be developed. They are also exploring how fundraising campaigns and other initiatives could provide financial support for Yaguará’s important work. In this way, they are contributing together to the protection of wildlife and nature in Osa.
