A couple of years ago, we called on your support to raise vital funds to build a new rescue center in Costa Rica, featuring a state-of-the-art veterinary clinic.

Alfie and Rosies Story of Survival International Animal Rescue IAR 2023-06-01 | A story of survival and hope this #throwbackthursday…Alfie and Rosie were once hidden in the dark, locked away behind large wooden barn doors and heavy metal chains. They would spend their days frantically pacing up and down, clawing at the walls in a desperate attempt for freedom. Their frenzied digging was threatening to bring the building crashing down on them! These cubs had lost their mother after being poached by hunters, and had wandered close to a military base in search of food. The soldiers took pity on them and gave them food and water, before entrusting them to a local man who promised to release the bears back into the countryside.Instead, the man locked the cubs inside a derelict building, with no food or water in sight. Just pure darkness. However, in 2019, thanks to a rescue mission organized and orchestrated by our partners, FPWC, and supported by YOU, these two beautiful cubs were given the chance of a new life. They were taken to the rescue center in the Armenian mountains, and have been receiving love and specialist care ever since!They now spend their days enjoying enrichment activities such as pools and wobble trees, whilst devouring all the fruit they can get their paws on. A life that was once filled with darkness, now brighter than ever before! Thank you to everyone that supports this lifesaving rescue project in Armenia. This would not have been possible without YOU!

EPIC Release of a Three Legged Sun Bear! International Animal Rescue IAR 2023-05-25 | We know what you might be thinking... how does a sun bear missing a leg stand any chance of a happy ending?! Well read on for an astonishing story of how tragedy can turn to hope, and don't forget to leave a like!Let us introduce you to Nanjung, a sun bear who lost his leg after a tragic encounter with a hunter’s snare. Despite his ordeal, Nanjung's tale is one of enduring strength and resilience that we are thrilled to share on this #throwbackthursday!In November 2019, the BKSDA along with our partners at YIARI were first alerted to Nanjung's plight. Locals had reported the presence of the bear, leading to their immediate response. The scene that met them was heartbreaking; the snare had cruelly tightened around Nanjung’s paw, inflicting severe damage and necessitating an amputation.In the aftermath of the operation, Nanjung spent a crucial six weeks under the expert care of YIARI. Their unwavering attention ensured his proper healing and before long, Nanjung was deemed fit to return to his natural environment!Thanks to a partnership with PT Ketapang Industri Forest, Nanjung could be released into a secure forest area, giving him the liberty to explore to his heart's content. Despite only have three legs, the inherent resilience of his species gave YIARI a lot of hope for his future survival. Reflecting on moments like this really warms our hearts! All animals, big or small, play a huge part in our planet’s biodiversity and must be protected at all costs!#bears #wildlife #animalrelease #amazing

This is Why Sterilization is SO Important! International Animal Rescue IAR 2023-05-23 | Why do our partners, YIARI, sterilize animals?!Sterilization, a surgical procedure removing reproductive organs, makes animals infertile and helps control overpopulation. This might sound like a small change, but the ripple effects are significant!🐕🐕 It avoids unwanted animal births and prevents overpopulation. 💉It helps reduce the risk of an animals developing certain health conditions🐱 It can reduce aggression and the risk of biting, leading to fewer injuries among animals.💊 Importantly, it also helps reduce the risk of zoonotic diseases like rabies, protecting both animal and human health.😀😺Together, these benefits lead to healthier, happier animals coexisting more peacefully in the communities they live alongside. This is just one part of the broader 'One Health' approach YIARI believes in, which encompasses not just animal health, but also human health and the health of our environment. Every action counts towards creating a world where humans and animals coexist in sustainable ecosystems. #animals #wildlife #veterinarymedicine #cats

The NIGHTMARE Facing Howler Monkeys International Animal Rescue IAR 2023-04-14 | “It’s been my nightmare for the last six years,” and that nightmare continues… The plight of howler monkeys in Costa Rica due to the dangers posed by uninsulated power lines and transformers has recently been covered in a Daily Beast article by Noah Kirsch. Deforestation and uncontrolled development continue to drive the monkeys down to the ground or onto the power cables, which is not only a problem for the monkeys but also for public safety. Our veterinary director, Fran, who has been quoted in this article has been living with the devastating effects of wildlife electrocutions for many years and has voiced his concerns. While there has been some collaborative effort to implement reactive mitigation measures to alleviate the problem, it is clear that far more needs to be done. 2022 was the worst year on record for electrocutions. Our Stop The Shocks program has been running for many years, we work closely with government agencies, electric companies, other organizations and individuals. We are proud of what we have achieved together; however, this reactive approach will only get us so far. It is great that hotspots are identified and remedied but, we can’t keep up and we are still seeing more electrocutions than ever. A proactive approach is desperately needed, backed up with appropriate regulation and enforcement. It cannot be right that trees are cleared and unsafe electricity equipment is installed in precious forested areas without any scrutiny. We understand that development is a key part of the economy; however, this must be done sustainably and using a nature positive approach. What is currently happening is clearly at odds with Costa Rica’s green credentials. Without a more proactive, strategic, regulatory approach, we will always be playing catch-up with reactive mitigation measures. With continued collaboration and the will from all stakeholders to fix the problem, it is entirely solvable. We can then ensure a brighter future for the howler monkeys of Costa Rica.
This Slow Loris Will Melt Your Heart... International Animal Rescue IAR 2023-04-13 | Meet Apem, the brave Javan slow loris receiving a crucial procedure from our incredible partners YIARI!

But as you can see in this video, under the watchful eye of vet Indri Saptorini Apem has been receiving the love and care he deserves 💙Starting with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory meds, followed by a careful tooth extraction operation, he has been healing day by day!Though we would love to see Apem thriving in the wild, his missing teeth make it impossible, as they're crucial for both finding food and self-defence 🌳. However, despite this, YIARI will do everything they can to give Apem the best life possible at the rescue center! Thank you to everyone that supports the slow loris project, without you, Apem wouldn’t have stood a chance!

AMAZING UPDATE - Millie The Sloth Bear! International Animal Rescue IAR 2023-03-30 | AMAZING UPDATE ON MILLIE THE SLOTH BEAR! Who remembers Millie? Back in 2021, Millie was rescued by our partners, Wildlife SOS, after being caught in a snare for several days. She was found in a terrible condition, suffering from dehydration and a severely infected wound. It’s been a few months since posted about her in September, so on this #throwbackthursday we’re back with another exciting update! Millie has come a long way since her rescue. She can't return to the wild due to her injury and ongoing medical treatments, but she's living her best life at the Wildlife SOS rescue center in Bannerghatta, surrounded by a rich biodiversity of the Bannerghatta Biological Park and a habitat that closely resembles her natural forest home. This brave bear has grown close to a bear called Mithali in a neighboring enclosure. When they meet up, they spend time play-wrestling, climbing trees, and exploring enrichment activities together. Despite the loss of her limb, Millie has regained a lot of her athletic ability and can even climb trees for some afternoon naps! To aid her care, Millie is given multivitamins and liver supplements hidden within fruits and dates. The medicines often have to be stuffed deep within fruits, because if she notices their presence, she will become very fussy with her food! But the team are always up for the challenge of keeping Millie healthy and happy. Millie's journey may have been a difficult one, but your support and donations have helped her heal and find happiness again. Follow us for more updates on her progress! Together, we can ensure that Millie's remaining days are filled with love and adventure.

This Is Why Whistling Ducks Are AWESOME International Animal Rescue IAR 2023-03-09 | Meet Chuck, the black-bellied whistling duck! He is currently being cared for by our expert team in Costa Rica. This beautiful species of duck is well-known for its distinctive high-pitched whistling call. Found across the Americas, they are easily recognisable by their black underbellies, chestnut plumage, and bright pink legs! But what really makes them stand out is their behavior - they're not shy at all! Black-bellied whistling ducks are often seen perching on tree branches, and they even nest in tree cavities instead of on the ground like most other ducks.Unfortunately, their gentle tendencies often bring them into contact with humans in built-up areas. Urban development in Costa Rica is a threat to a huge variety of wildlife in Costa Rica, and our team work around the clock making sure injured and orphaned wildlife can eventually return home!Like and subscribe if you think whistling ducks are AWESOME!
International Womens Day 2023 - The Power of Mama International Animal Rescue IAR 2023-03-08 | THIS IS A MUST WATCH! If these amazing women have inspired you, please consider liking and sharing this post to show your support! 👩🚒 Today, on this International Women’s Day we wanted to bring you words from Indonesia’s first ever all-female firefighting force. In footage shared by our partners YIARI, Eli, Kristinayun, Kusnira, Ani and Mrs Maimunah speak about their Power of Mama experiences and what it means to be a part of this community development and gender empowerment initiative. The Power of Mama is inspiring local women to play an active role in forest firefighting to protect the rainforest and wildlife within, as well educating communities living on the edge of the forest. These incredible women are living examples of this year’s International Women’s Day theme – ‘Embrace Equity.’ They have taken on roles traditionally held by men, revolutionizing attitudes towards the role of women in their communities, while also protecting the natural environment. 🗣️ As Mrs Maimunah powerfully puts it: “At first, I was just a housewife, but now I can move forward into the future” This year, the predicted return of the El Nino climate phenomenon threatens to send global temperatures soaring higher than ever, increasing the risk of severe heatwaves, droughts and fires.

Imagine a #WorldWithoutNature International Animal Rescue IAR 2023-03-03 | This #WorldWildlifeDay, we are joining hundreds of NGOS and global brands to highlight the importance of protecting nature by removing all nature-related elements from our logo. This powerful message emphasizes that the natural world plays a vital role in every aspect of our lives and that a world without wildlife and nature is unthinkable. Human actions threaten more species with extinction now than ever before, with around one million species facing extinction. 🦏We must act decisively to transform our devastating impact on wildlife and nature into a force for good that aims to protect, restore, and conserve our natural world. 🌳Let's keep the pressure up on governments and decision makers to deliver on their promise of urgent action to halt and reverse biodiversity loss.
Boa Imperators are AMAZING! International Animal Rescue IAR 2023-03-01 | This slithery specimen was rescued by our team and is now at our center in Costa Rica. Although snakes are typically considered fearsome, boa imperators tend to keep humans off the menu and prefer to eat mammals, birds and lizards. Salazar is currently awaiting a biopsy so our vets can assist her condition.
Salazar The Boa Imperator International Animal Rescue IAR 2023-03-01 | Hope you don’t mind us Slytherin into your Shorts feed… Meet Salazar, the boa imperator!This slithery specimen was rescued by our team and is now at our center in Costa Rica. Although snakes are typically considered fearsome, boa imperators tend to keep humans off the menu and prefer to eat mammals, birds and lizards. Salazar is currently awaiting a biopsy so our vets can assist her condition. Boa imperators, also known as common boas, are non-venomous and can grow up to 12 feet long. They're found in Central and South America and come in all sorts of interesting patterns, from bright reds to deep browns. Like other boa species, they are ‘crepuscular ambush predators’, which simply means they prefer to hunt during twilight hours. They also use constriction as a way to kill their prey. Are you a fan of snakes? We don’t often post snakes on our YouTube channel, so we’d love to hear your thoughts or other fun facts about snakes in the comments section!

Little Edwins Story Could Have Ended Terribly... International Animal Rescue IAR 2023-02-17 | Edwin was tragically separated from his mother, and although he was eventually re-united with her, many other animals aren’t as lucky. Each and every day, we deal with tragic cases where wildlife have been electrocuted, hit by cars or brutally attacked; sometimes with fatal consequences.We are almost overwhelmed with the amount of injured wildlife arriving in our care this year, and although our vets are more than capable of delivering the expert care they need, our equipment is failing and needs to be replaced ASAP! We are $3000 short of our $10,000 target. If we raise the full amount we can buy everything we need, from incubators, to gas anaesthesia machines and medical monitors. If you can donate, please visit the link in the comments section and help us give animals like Edwin the life that they deserve! Thank you to everyone that has donated so far, we deeply appreciate your support at this desperate time.
Dramatic rescue of a Tamandua International Animal Rescue IAR 2023-02-16 | This tamandua may not have survived if it wasn’t for the swift actions of our rescue team and local energy provider, ICE! But despite the successful rescue operation, the team in Costa Rica now desperately need your help!As you can see, the specialist pole they used to get the tamandua down to safety wasn’t the most efficient means of rescue. With urban development in Costa Rica fragmenting wildlife habitat, situations like this are becoming more and more common as wildlife use power lines to cross built-up areas. The amount of rescues already this year is extremely high! This is why we desperately need donations to purchase a dart gun. This is a safe tool we use in multiple projects around the world, including rescuing orangutans in Indonesia! This will allow our rescue team to reach animals in dangerous situations without reduced risk to themselves and the animal. Please kindly make a donation at the link in the comments: internationalanimalrescue.org/appeal/costa-rica-equipment-appeal?utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=tamandua and help us bring more wildlife to safety! We can’t do this without you!
Charlotte Has An Incredible Story Of Survival... International Animal Rescue IAR 2023-02-16 | Charlotte arrived at our center with horrific injuries. She had suffered bite marks, broken bones and an unimaginable amount of trauma. Using specialist medical equipment, our vets were able to perform emergency surgery and SAVE HER LIFE!In fact, Charlotte would eventually become strong enough to be released, but this story would have had a sad ending if it wasn’t for the equipment available to our vets at the time. Some of this equipment has since broken, and a large influx of injured wildlife has exuberated our need to replace them ASAP! So far this year, we have received nearly TWENTY howlers in need of our lifesaving support! That’s approx. one injured howler every other day! If anyone out there can help us, we desperately need to raise $10,000 to replace items such as medical monitors, gas anaesthesia machines and incubators to name a few. These are items that save lives on a daily basis, and our work would not be possible without them… and without YOU!Please kindly make a donation at the link in the comments section and give injured animals like Charlotte the chance to be free!
Marty Could Have Died Without This Equipment... International Animal Rescue IAR 2023-02-15 | Without functioning medical equipment, Marty could have died. Please don’t make this fear become a reality!We desperately need to purchase new medical equipment to replace broken items and to keep up with the demand of rescued animals. If you’re able to help us with a donation, please visit the following link: internationalanimalrescue.org/appeal/costa-rica-equipment-appeal?utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=costa_rica_equipment&utm_content=martyLiking and sharing this post will also help us MASSIVELY! Marty the kinkajou literally owes his life to the medical equipment that our vets used to treat him from his wounds. Marty was one animal of many, in a recent influx of injured animals rushed through our doors. The beeping you can hear in this video comes from a monitor, a very important device that is used on animals when they first arrive at the center. It helps vets assess the amount of trauma inflicted on the animal and devise an appropriate treatment plan to help them recover. As a charity, our work is only possible thanks to the support of our donors. If you’re able to help us replace important medical equipment during this incredibly busy time for our center, it would be hugely appreciated. Thank you to everyone that has donated so far, you are all incredible!
Two Baby Squirrels May Have Died Without These... International Animal Rescue IAR 2023-02-14 | Meet Scrat and Rocky, two rescued variegated squirrels who likely wouldn’t have survived without the medical support provided by our incubators. Worryingly, two of our incubators have recently broken, so we desperately need to replace them to give more infant animals that come into our care the chance of returning to the wild! – DONATE LINK IN COMMENTS!Tragedy struck for these two young squirrels when strong winds knocked their nest out of a tree. Despite our best efforts to return them to their mother, she never came back for them. We then decided to rush them into the center to start their journey to recovery. Our veterinary team gave them a complete check-up and it was determined that the best option was to stay in the new incubator, which provides warmth to young animals that aren't ready for the temperature outside just yet. We dare not imagine what would have happened if we didn’t have working incubators for Scrat and Rocky. With more than 100 different animals benefiting from these incubators every year, we cant stress how important it is that we raise the funds to buy a new incubator. So please donate today, and if you can’t please consider liking and sharing this post so more people can hear Scrat and Rocky’s story!

We urgently need your support to raise $10,000 so we can purchase VITAL life-saving equipment in Costa Rica!internationalanimalrescue.org/appeal/costa-rica-equipment-appeal?utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=costa_rica_equipment&utm_content=galleryIt is an incredibly busy time for our staff at the rescue center.

Sleepy Bears Getting Ready For A LONG Sleep International Animal Rescue IAR 2023-02-08 | The bears (brrrs 🥶) in Armenia are feeling a little sleepy! 🐻😴As winter grips the Armenian countryside, the FPWC rescue center is a little bit quieter than usual. Instead of splashing in pools, bashing wobble trees or running around their large enclosures; bears are conserving their energy, packing on the fat, and getting ready for a long frosty slumber! When they emerge from their cosy dens in the spring and shake off the equivalent of a bear hangover (think Monday mornings but 10 times worse), they will stuff their furry faces with lots of nutritious food prepared in advance by the FPWC staff. They will then have free reign of their enclosures, with lots of enrichment activities available for them to enjoy!
