Our main concern is animal trafficking. We’re working to end it and in the meantime offering refuge to those animals who have fallen victim to it.

For more than 25 years CIWY has cared for rescued wildlife, given disadvantaged youth a sense of purpose through involvement with wildlife care & educated the Bolivian public to respect wildlife.

Descripción de la reseña

For more than 25 years CIWY has cared for rescued wildlife, given disadvantaged youth a sense of purpose through involvement with wildlife care & educated the Bolivian public to respect wildlife.

Our largest focus continues to be aiding animals affected by the animal trade, although in more recent years we have focused more of our attention on preventing the illegal animal trade that is the culprit behind the need for our work.

- The 3 wildlife sanctuaries we have are in Bolivia.

Bolivia’s land isn’t just diverse—some of its features have broken records! Lake Titicaca is the world’s highest lake that’s deep enough for a boat to sail on. Salar de Uyuni, which sits in the southwest of the country, is the world’s largest salt flat. And the world’s highest forest sits more than 13,000 feet above sea level in Bolivia’s Sajama National Park. This takes cool scenery to new heights.  


- We are looking for more than 400 rescued animals, most of them came from black market or destruction of their habitat.


- Why choose us?

Volunteering in our wildlife centres is hard work. However, it is also incredibly rewarding, unique and sure to be a memorable experience.

2024 at Care for Rescued Wildlife

I only got to stay for 2 weeks but loved taking care of the animals. The place is truly dedicated to social and environmental impact. All permanent staff and volunteers are clearly dedicated to rehabilitating the animals and making sure they are as close as can be to their wild behaviour. ..

2023 at Care for Rescued Wildlife

I volunteered in Ambue Ari for 8 weeks and I must say it was an amazing experience. This is a place that truly cares about the animals, so if you expect a zoo-like experience where you can pet animals as you please, then this is definitely not for you. You are here for the animals, not to take ...

2022 at Care for Rescued Wildlife

So I spent 4 weeks at Ambue Ari and I have to say that was a little to short for me. You need time to get used to everything and when that happened I already had to go. I really enjoyed the time there. Yes it’s hard work, especially because of the heat or the rain and the Moskitos but the work ...

2018 at Care for Rescued Wildlife

For me it felt amazing to be able to connect so closely with animals and being able to give them a better life after coming mostly out of a horrible situation. Working with a big group of people who had the same mindset was part of the positive experience aswel.Now that this experience is behind ...
