Wildlife Rescue is the latest and most striking project that is located near Baan Talae Nork, 80kms south of Ranong city. The sanctuary is a habitat to all wild species common to Thailand such as gibbons, macaques, slow Loris, porcupine, civet cat, which are all in need of welfare and protection. The habitat provides shelter for more than 100 animals. These unfortunate animals have fallen victims to uncaring and thoughtless humans. The aim of this project is the rehabilitation and long-term care of these animals. Furthermore, this project aims to provide a sustainable program with a long-lasting result by organizing education program in wildlife and protection. The education of local people will certainly contribute to the ending of illegal hunting and promote animal rights. Volunteers as well as our full time staff run the sanctuary on a day-to-day basis.
