Centro de Rescate de fauna silvestre
Merazonia is a new rescue center for trafficked and abused Amazonian animals located on 250 acres of rainforest, in Mera, Ecuador. The center is currently under construction, and we hope to be able to provide our first animals with a home by early 2008. Once fully functioning, the center aims both to rehabilitate and begin release programs for appropriate animals. If animals are too injured or imprinted for this, we will give them a chance to live as naturally and comfortably as possible. We also place importance on outreach, education, and research, and plan on implementing local educational programs as well as welcoming international students and researchers. Currently we invite anyone with a passion to make a difference to volunteer with us, get a bit of jungle dirt under your nails, and contribute to the creation of a haven for animals in need.
