PROGRESS

Pura vida
As we enter our slow season (rainy), here is the latest from la selva. Progress has been made in expanding our capabilities for acute care on site. We have received equipment donations of two commercial grade microscopes, a fully operation sonograph/m, a small refrig for vet drugs, a nebulizer and various misc supplies. We have managed to procure a centrifuge, a complete small animal incubator and basic supplies for laboratory testing and acute care. Our equipment and supplies continue to grow as our needs are better defined. We have recently become members of the International Wildlife Rehabilitation Council and the International Fund for Animal Welfare. The International Wildlife Rehabilitation Council provides education, training and support for wildlife rehabilitators, liaison with wildlife professionals, organizations and agencies. We have also been registered with JUST CAUSE. We have established connections and in some cases relationships with technical, media and financial professionals in North America, South America and Europe. On site we have commenced a number of building projects to create and improve habitats and amenities for all of us animals... We humans may be the one with the most developed brains, but no mistake... we share this world with many other species big and small. Whether wild or domestic, we all share LIFE. So, we work along side and in cooperation with the Ticos and Ticas... Pura vida
