Welcome to Jardín Gaia (hard-een guy-uh, or Earth Garden), Costa Rica's first Official Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Center. Jardín Gaia is currently filled with over 275 confiscated animals and birds. We're a team of environmentalists, veterinarians, and volunteers dedicated primarily to rescuing and returning native endangered wildlife, illegally orphaned or confiscated, to their natural environment.

The project relies on grants and donations from the public, and the commitment of the volunteers who work there. We invite you to roam through our site, learn about our mission, goals and projects -- and ways you can help make a good thing better.

An Italian summary of these pages is also available.
