The environmental education program is key to generating awareness in people for the conservation of natural resources.
Here in NATUWA, we had the pleasure of enjoying a trail tour from a group of friendly, elderly people from Esparza de Puntarenas.
The ladies and gentlemen were amazed to see the colorful macaws and to be in the presence of the imposing JAGUAR.
“You know that animal?” Asks the headmistress.
“Of course!! Is El Tigre !!!”, they responded with great admiration.
“We experienced a nice day…”
Our great friend, Jason Mejía of the United States, recently traveled here for one week to develop a mural about the Macaw Sanctuary NATUWA.
He left us inspired and amazed by his beautiful work. The morphological analysis that he applied was very real. We are very appreciative of Jason!!!

Thank you, Jason !!!!!!!
Third arrival today. The Puntarenas Police rescued a Green Iguana (Iguana iguana) in the hands of hunters. There were three animals and two died, possibly suffocated as they were transported in a bag without sufficient air holes for respiration. We thank the officers that we were able to liberate at least one of them.
Today arrived a Fiery-billed Aracari (Pteroglossus frantzii), thanks to MINAE officials. The Aracari was found injured in the Costa Montaña hotel of the Central Pacific. Soon it will return to its place of origin.
Visit, collaborate, and contribute to the preservation of the wildlife under our care.
