Company Description
Kids Saving the Rainforest (KSTR) is a nonprofit corporation registered under Section 501(c) 3US Federal Tax ID #06-1594980, based in Quepos, Costa Rica. The organization was founded by two 9-year-old girls in 1999 to educate 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. Our mission is to protect the diverse wildlife of flora and fauna in Costa Rica’s Pacific Coast with our conservation projects, which include KSTR’s wildlife rescue center, where we rescue, rehabilitate, and release injured, sick, and orphaned animals back into the wild. Animals that can never be released because they were raised in captivity as illegal pets 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.
