Community Education

At Wild Sun Rescue Center, we believe education is a fundamental part of conservation. We act to spread awareness of key issues so that we can all help be a part of the long-term solution. Our goal is to inspire and educate the local community, students, and guests visiting from all over the world. We hope to bring a greater understanding of the importance of protecting our ecosystem and how its health affects us.

Our Conservation Education Internship brings students and passionate individuals into the role of educator and ambassador for wildlife. Through school visits, workshops, educational tours, and special projects, interns help us to spread our core message to the public. To learn more about the internship program, click here!

We’ve also initiated a “Feed the Animals the Right Way” program in collaboration with the Futuro Verde school and Vivero Lacon. The program provides children with the means to conduct a research project to identify the most important plants for native animals. The class will use this information to design informational tags for those plants before selling the sapling plants to local markets with an education table. Our goal is to educate people on why feeding wildlife is wrong, and give them a way to feed them the "right way." Half of the profits generated will be donated to Wild Sun, while some will be donated to Futuro Verde for reforestation efforts.
