Sibu Wildlife Sanctuary

Sibu Wildlife Sanctuary is a sanctuary focused on Costa Rican wildlife, specialized in howler monkeys, located in the Santa Marta area of Nosara.

Our mission is to provide orphaned and displaced wild animals with safe sanctuary, rehabilitation, and eventual release into the wild. Rehabilitated animals will be released back into their natural environment.

We also provide a permanent, spacious sanctuary and ongoing care for wildlife that, due to psychological or physical injury, it is not possible to release back into the wild.

Physical injury to Costa Rica’s wildlife is most often caused by human encroachment. Deforestation, development and fragmentation of their natural habitat has led to frequent electrocutions on power lines, dog attacks and injury or death due to fast moving motor vehicles.
