Wildlife Rest Center (Quarantine) and Rehabilitation Site Food preparation Feeding We feed the gibbons twice a day. Meals 1. Senda Verde. WildAnimalSanctuary.org. The Wildlife Center is not a zoo… and therefore we do not have a large paid staff, or an army of personnel to take care of every task that needs to be done - therefore - our facility is operated by a very dedicated group of volunteers. Are you interested in volunteering? If so, then you need to know a few details about how involved our volunteer program really is before you apply. First, we have over 290 large exotic animals currently living here at the sanctuary - and that number is constantly growing due to our dedicated efforts to save the lives of what seems like a never ending stream of animals needing to be rescued. Second, you need to know caring for this many large carnivores on a weekly basis is a mind boggling task. We feed over 8,500 pounds of a specially blended USDA quality meat diet to our large cats per week - and over 10,500 pounds of specially blended Bear food too!

Volunteering at Rancho Mastatal Volunteers have been an indispensable element to Rancho Mastatal over the past decade. Currently though we are accepting less volunteers duing certain times of the year in order to reduce the coming and going in our community. Prospective applicants are encouraged to consider staying as guests, participating in one of our workshops, or lenghtening their stay and applying for an internship. There are still times of the year when volunteers provide an integral part of the Ranch, please don´t hesitate to inquire about the best dates to apply.Our goal is that each volunteer maximizes his or her learning and cultural experience, while providing Rancho Mastatal with an important source of labor, inspiration and information exchange.

Merazonia has a young team of people who encourage volunteers to help think of ways we can improve the park. We are currently caring for well over 50 animals, including: capuchins, tamarin and woolly monkeys; many species of parrots and macaws; kinkajous and small mammals; and sometimes felines. Because rehabilitation is an important part of what we do, the group of animals we look after often changes, with animals being released or moved to other refuges, depending on the care and environment they need. A typical day starts with feeding the animals and cleaning their cages at 7.30 a.m. After breakfast we work on maintaining and keeping the park clean, or building new trails and enclosures.

The animals get fed again at 3 p.m. But there is also time to explore the land, relax by the river, or swim in our waterfalls. We live at the reserve, which is a 15-minute taxi ride from the town of Mera.
