Kids Saving the Rainforest - Quepos, Costa Rica

Iron P Homestead Zoo is pround to partner with Kids Saving the Rainforest. KSTR's facility is based in Quepos, Costa Rica. The organization was founded by two 9 year old girls in 1999 for the purpose of educating people around the world about the ecological importance of the rainforest, and to set-up programs to preserve and protect the rainforest and its wildlife. Their mission is to protect the diverse wildlife of flora and fauna in Costa Rica’s Pacific Coast with conservation projects which include KSTR’s wildlife rescue center where they rescue, rehabilitate and release injured, sick and orphaned animals back to the wild. Animals that can never be released because they were either raised in captivity as illegal pets and became reliant on humans for food or permanently injured or disabled are cared for in KSTR’s wildlife sanctuary. KSTR also works to minimize the causes of why animals need to be rescued with their education program, reforestation project and wildlife bridges project. We implement these projects to protect the wildlife in the community by mitigating the major threats to wildlife in the region. Iron P Homestead Zoo is home to multiple species that KSTR works directly with that are native to that geographic area including Sloths, Squirrel Monkeys, Macaws, Javlina, and more! Iron P Homestead Zoo pledges 10% of all Sloth Encounters, Capybara Encounters, and VIP Encounters directly to help fund KSTR's projects including Wildlife Bridges, Wheels for Wildlife, and the Wildlife Santuary Hospital.
