Toucan Rescue Ranch is an environmental services organization based in San Isidro, Heredia, Costa Rica, founded in 2004 to rescue, rehabilitate, and release native wildlife. The facility operates as a wildlife sanctuary that accepts confiscated, sick, and injured animals in collaboration with government authorities, notably MINAE, and emphasizes conservation, education, and research as core activities. Its services focus on medical treatment, rehabilitation, and eventual reintroduction to natural habitats, supported by a dedicated team, interns, and volunteers, with care provided at a multi-species center that expanded from birds to include other wildlife such as sloths. The organization is structured as a charitable non-profit, relying on donations to sustain its activities and environmental mission. A recent development includes partnerships and recognition—such as collaboration with Explore Annenberg LLC and a 2024 Travelers’ Choice award for educational tours—which reflect ongoing community engagement and visibility in its field.
