Our Mission: Santa Martha Rescue Center is an animal sanctuary located in the Andean mountains of Ecuador, South America. Assisted by volunteers, we are responsible for rescuing a wide variety of wild animals from unhealthy and illegal situations, which have been the victims of animal-trafficking or mistreatment.
What We Do: Here at Santa Martha, volunteers are responsible for the well-being and daily upkeep of all the animals in the center. Together we feed the animals and clean the enclosures daily while also trying to improve their living conditions.
Our volunteers are offered a unique opportunity to care for and help rehabilitate a diverse variety of wild animals. These normally include monkeys, cats, bears, reptiles, and parrots amongst many others.
