Comunidad Inti Wara Yassi (CIWY) rescues, rehabilitates and cares for wild animals seized from illegal trafficking, and fights to end the animal trade through educational programs, research projects and public actions.
CIWY implements educational activities throughout Bolivia to teach children the negative impacts of wildlife trafficking and habitat destruction, and to promote appreciation and respect for wildlife and the environment.
Our main objective is to rescue, rehabilitate and care for wildlife that has fallen victim to illegal trafficking and possession. Most of the animals we rescue can no longer survive in the wild, so we give them the best possible quality of life in a natural environment.
