Wildlife Conservation
Our goal is to help endangered species survive and thrive in the wild. We rescue animals in danger, care for them and whenever possible, return them to the wild. For those that can’t go back we give lifelong sanctuary.
At International Animal Rescue we not only save animals from suffering, we also rehabilitate and release them back into the wild and work to protect their precious natural habitats. Our work includes cutting free and caring for captive bears in India and Armenia, rescuing and rehabilitating orangutans and other primates in Indonesia and treating injured and orphaned howler monkeys in Costa Rica.

HECTARES OF RAINFOREST PROTECTED
Every day, we patrol and protect precious habitat for Indonesia's endangered wildlife.
Our Mission
Our aim is to return animals to their natural environment wherever possible, but we also provide a permanent home for those that can no longer fend for themselves.
As human populations expand, wildlife comes under increasing threat. By rescuing individual animals belonging to species like the orangutan and reintroducing them into protected areas in the wild, our work also plays a role in the conservation of the species as a whole.

Key Organisational Goals
Protect Habitats
From lush rainforests to coastal mangroves, wild places are home to extraordinary wildlife, and they’re disappearing fast. We work hand in hand with local communities, governments and businesses to protect these landscapes for future generations.
Reduce Illegal Wildlife Trade
Every year, countless wild animals are taken from their homes to be sold as pets or products. We work with authorities and communities to stop this cruel trade and make sure wild animals stay where they belong.
