Merazonia is a dynamic wildlife rescue and rehabilitation centre situated on 250 acres of rainforest in Ecuador. We focus on rehabilitating wildlife that has fallen victim to the illegal pet trade and deforestation, and volunteers from around the world help us with day-to-day care. We combine a passion for nature with a hands-off professional approach towards animal care, release, conservation, and wildlife monitoring.
Donations are vital for our daily animal care, release and conservation projects. Although Merazonia works closely with the Ministry of Environment, we do not receive government funding and, for the well-being of the animals, do not receive tourists in our reserve. You can help by becoming a donor,
adopting an animal or volunteering with us.
The Merazonia staff has worked side by side with volunteers since the beginning. We invite anyone with a passion for nature to get a bit of jungle dirt under their nails and help us make a difference. Watch this short volunteer-made video to learn more about what to expect during your time at Merazonia!
Since the protection of our 250 acre reserve in 2004, we've watched a broken down ecosystem become a flourishing forest. Over the years we've seen an incredible increase in wildlife activity on our reserve including extraordinary sightings of rare
black jaguar,
bush dog
and
Andean bear.
