Welcome to RAREC

Our mission is to rescue and rehabilitate threatened species of Amazonian wildlife, as well as to provide community education, and to further scientific knowledge that will help us preserve the Amazon Rainforest.

RAREC started operations in 2011. We operate as a fully licensed rescue center, and we are registered as a non-profit institution. Our programs are funded with the financial support from our partners in conservation, as well as donations from people with a keen interest in the preservation of Amazonia, all over the world.

RAREC IS USING SPECIES360

About Species360

Successful animal care depends on applying the best actions possible for long-term animal health and survival. And that means tapping into the best knowledge available. Created by the members to advance global collaboration and information sharing, Species360 has been the primary source of biological insights on living collections of wildlife in human care since 1974. As a mission-based, global non-profit, non-governmental organization, Species360 continues to advance knowledge sharing for excellent animal care and conservation. Today, more than 1,200 zoos, aquariums and other wildlife member organizations in 101 countries use Species360 ZIMS software to help them achieve best practice animal management and conservation goals.
