About us
Saving wildlife in the Nicoya peninsula
Wild Sun Rescue Center is a non-profit organization located in Cabuya, Costa Rica. We are dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of our local wildlife, and are continuously striving to find solutions to the threats they face.
Every day we treat sick, injured and orphaned animals that are affected by various threats including electrocution, dog and cat attacks, and illegal pet trade. Our primary goal is to release each animal back to the wild.
In addition to animal care, we are actively promoting conservation and offer internships and professional development retreats to increase community engagement and global awareness of conservation in Costa Rica.
Rescue. Rehabilitate. Release.
Volunteer or Donate. Intern or Extern. Join our CE retreats for vets. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram or YouTube. Buy our original merchandise! Our work is only possible thanks to the efforts of people who donate, come to volunteer, or participate in special programs at Wild Sun. Another way you can support is to stay at our Jungle Lodge (proceeds help support the rescue center) and watch as the macaws fly overhead while you relax in our pool.

Wild Sun borders the Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve. Cabo Blanco is a pioneer of wildlife and environmental conservation, becoming the first protected area in Costa Rica in 1963. Situated on the southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula, the reserve protects 1,788 hectares of ocean and 1,270 hectares of tropical forest that is home to many native and endangered species. This includes 150 species of trees and 240 species of birds, making this area an important habitat for wildlife.
