Esperanza Verde

Esperanza Verde is a Wildlife Rescue Centre and Conservation project based in the Amazon Basin. We rescue animals from the illegal wildlife trade and give them a second chance.

In Peru many animal species fall victim to illegal hunting, either for meat or to be sold into the Pet Trade. We rescue and rehabilitate animals that have been confiscated from the illegal wildlife trade. Where possible we will always try to release an animal back into the wild, however sadly this is not possible with all cases. As a result we also provide permanent homes to animals deemed unfit for release. We protect a large area of Rainforest and actively look to reforest areas previously lost to farming or logging.
