Our Rescue Center is funded by the Hagnauer Foundation which derives its revenue from the entrance of tourism to visit our sanctuary where the residents’ animals that cannot be released are located. It also generates revenue from the sale of items in the Souvenir. Parallel we receive specific donations to feed our carnivores (meat of beef‚ horse and fish) and veterinary medicines.
Currently the income is not enough to cover the total operating expense, that’s why YOUR SUPPORT is very important to us. In order to obtain financing for the Las Pumas Rescue Center (maintenance of enclosures, animal feed, environmental education program, among others) and continue the work of rescue and conservation of wildlife in our country we created different categories of the program explained below:
- SPECIE. The animals in the sanctuary area have a specific annual maintenance cost according to the requirements of food, health, environmental enrichment. You can adopt and help its maintenance HERE.
-
HABITAT. The infrastructure of our Center was built by the founder over 15 years ago. Many of our cages must be renewed with new materials. Similarly, it is necessary to build enclosures in our sanctuary for newly rescued animals that for various reasons (physical, behavioral and health) cannot be released to the wild, and we give them a better quality of life in our Rescue Center. Know who needs a new home and help built it HERE.
Our Center also needs improvements in other infrastructure where activities of the Environmental Education Programs are carried out to provide better services to our visitors, and also the Program Conservation and Wildlife Management for the animal care. If you want to support learn more HERE. - ECOSYSTEM. We have two main programs: Conservation and Wildlife Management and Environmental Education. These programs have small projects in order to achieve our specific objectives of conserving wildlife through the rescue and environmental education. If you want to be part of this effort, get involved and learn more HERE.
- FOOTPRINT. In the Rescue Center we develop daily activities that require the replacement of materials and basic equipment so we can meet our goals and our animals are in the best conditions (maintenance of enclosures, food, environmental enrichment, among other ). If you want to leave your footprint and help us with our day to day activities you can do it HERE.
