Animal rescue center

Since 1993, we have taken in more than 3000 animals from the illegal wildlife trade

AmaZOOnico has become one of the largest animal sanctuaries in Ecuador. One of AmaZOOnico’s strengths is that our team combines traditional knowledge from the local population and a broad spectrum of perspectives from people all over the world. On 5 hectares, we look after over 200 animals that can no longer be released into the wild. In addition, we offer guided tours to over 20,000 tourists every year, with a focus on nature conservation. We care for the animals that can be released back into their natural habitat with as little human intervention as possible and release them into the “Selva Viva” protected forest area.
All this is possible thanks to our permanent staff, the volunteers who come from all over the world to help the animals and all those who donate to AmaZOOnico. Thanks to you, this world is becoming a better place for all living creatures.
