Osa Wildlife Sanctuary

The Osa Wildlife Sanctuary (Spanish: Fundación Santuario Silvestre de Osa), or Caña Blanca Wildlife Sanctuary, was an animal rescue center located on the Osa Peninsula in southwestern Costa Rica. The sanctuary was accessible only by boat and was completely surrounded by Piedras Blancas National Park. The center was dedicated to the rehabilitation of mistreated, injured, orphaned, and/or confiscated animals. The animals that were received by the sanctuary included a variety of monkeys, anteaters, exotic birds, sloths, and wildcats. Once the animals were fully rehabilitated, they were reintroduced into their natural habitats in protected areas within Costa Rica, including Corcovado National Park. The Osa Wildlife Sanctuary was a nonprofit organization that received funds from volunteers, donations, and tours.
