How are we helping today?

Our Main Priorities

There is no doubt, humans are completely dependent upon the natural world. The sources of our food and water come directly from the lands that nature has to offer. However the balance has been out of proportion for much time. By taking action with the help of our supporters and our resources, we hope to help shift this imbalance back to a more positive sustainable level. We desire to see a world where humans and wildlife are living in greater harmony.

REFORESTATION

Saving Monkeys.org is tirelessly refreshing areas located in Napo and Pastaza in the Ecuadorian Amazon rainforest, with the invaluable assistance of volunteers from local communities. This endeavor is vital for the sustainability of the rainforest ecosystem as it directly addresses the threats facing its biodiversity. The Amazon rainforest, often referred to as the “lungs of the Earth,” plays a crucial role in regulating the planet’s climate and harboring a vast array of plant and animal species, including many endangered primates. By focusing on conserving monkey populations and their habitats, Saving Monkeys.org not only helps safeguard the rich biodiversity of the region but also promotes the well-being of indigenous communities who rely on these forests for their livelihoods. Through collaborative efforts with volunteers, the organization not only preserves crucial habitats but also fosters a sense of stewardship and empowerment among local residents, ensuring the long-term sustainability of these precious ecosystems.

Education

Education initiatives led by organizations like Zanjarajuno, Yanchana, and Paseo de los Monos are instrumental in raising awareness and fostering a deeper understanding of environmental conservation, particularly regarding primate welfare and rainforest preservation. Supporting these organizations through various means, such as volunteering, donations, and advocacy, enables them to expand their outreach and impact. By collaborating with local communities, schools, and authorities, these organizations develop educational programs, workshops, and outreach activities that empower individuals to become stewards of their natural heritage. Through our support, we contribute to the dissemination of knowledge, the cultivation of environmental consciousness, and the promotion of sustainable practices, ultimately working towards a future where humans and wildlife thrive harmoniously within the Amazon rainforest ecosystem.

rehabilitation

Rehabilitation efforts for animals that have suffered abuse or been illegally traded are championed by organizations like Proyecto Ramon Rescue Center, founded by veterinarian Dr. Romina Guardia. Through our support of such organizations, we contribute to the care and rehabilitation of these animals, providing them with a safe haven where they can recover physically and emotionally. Proyecto Ramon Rescue Center and similar initiatives offer specialized veterinary care, behavioral rehabilitation, and enrichment activities tailored to the specific needs of each individual animal. By raising awareness about the consequences of wildlife trafficking and promoting responsible stewardship of animals, we help ensure the success of these rehabilitation efforts and the eventual reintegration of rehabilitated animals into their natural habitats whenever possible. Our support enables organizations like Proyecto Ramon Rescue Center to continue their crucial work in safeguarding the well-being of abused and trafficked animals, offering them a second chance at a life free from harm.
