The mission of Toucan Rescue Ranch (TRR) is to rescue, rehabilitate, and release Costa Rican wildlife. TRR works with a model focusing on conservation, education, and research to ensure a brighter future for native animals.

TRR receives and cares for confiscated, sick, and injured animals from government agencies. The Toucan Rescue Ranch works closely with the Ministry of Environment and Energy of Costa Rica (MINAE), bringing injured and displaced wildlife to the center. TRR provides sanctuary while giving treatment, rehabilitation, and eventual release to their natural environment. 

The Toucan Rescue Ranch was established in 2004 by Leslie Howle and Jorge Murillo as a rescue center for toucans and other birds. Nonetheless, the rescue center quickly expanded to owls and other wildlife. In 2007, a baby sloth named Millie arrived and was solely in TRR’s care. Millie is initially what transformed the Toucan Rescue Ranch into a fully operating multi-species wildlife facility. The Toucan Rescue Ranch has a dedicated team that works alongside interns and volunteers to promise premier quality care for rescued animals. 

As a charitable organization, we are supported by donations. Donations provide financial support that directly promotes the health and well-being of animals. We promise that with your help, you’re improving the lives of rescued wildlife and the vitality of our rainforests.
