Welcome to Amazon Shelter.

A wild animal rehabilitation and release centre in Tambopata, Peru.

Amazon shelter has been rescuing wild animals in peru from habitat loss, hunting, mining and the illegal wildlife trade for over 18 years. Each animal is lovingly rehabilitated and eventually released back into the wild.

Come and help our work at Amazon Shelter!

We rehabilitate a variety of animals from Howler and Capuchin Monkeys to bigger mammals like Red Brocket Deer, Peccary and Tapir and a number of different bird species, including large Macaws, Parrots and Parakeets. Every animal received goes through rigorous health checks and we create healthy diets specific to each animal that we care for. Once they are healthy we then prepare them for release into the wild.

The work Amazon Shelter are doing is amazing. It’s so important and as a volunteer you really feel like you are making a difference.
