Headquartered in Aranjuez de Puntarenas, Natuwa works with sloths, jaguars, tapirs, macaws and a big variety of the native fauna of Costa Rica that is in danger of extinction, focusing on the rarest species and the most fragile habitats. The main focus of the project is to provide refuge and protection to the wild animals that have been victimized by human actions, such as hunting, removal from their environments or deforestation. The Ecotourism Program of NATUWA consists of a very easy walk, where the visitors enjoy the different observation stations and learn about the animal species that inhabit the sanctuary, such as jaguars, tapirs, monkeys, scarlet macaws and great green macaws. In addition to the support from the Costa Ricans we also have the support of our community of international volunteers, these wildlife conservationists are people who offer their generous assistance to maintain the animals of the sanctuary. The NATUWA wildlife project acquires part of its economic resources from the international animal rescue Volunteer Program and the fees they receive visitors.
