Yogamontreal Events

Founded and run by nature lovers Mary Lynn Perry and Simon Gomez Gomez, Rainsong Wildlife Sanctuary is located on the edge of Costa Rica's oldest National Park, Reserva Natural Absoluta Cabo Blanco. Rainsong has made it their mission to oversee the rehabilitation of this small and very important piece of the earth.

The decline in wildlife sightings, and disappearance of various animal and plant species over the last decade (and beyond) have jarred this project into action.

In the past 4 years Rainsong has been able to rehabilitate and release several injured animals ... this is no small task! Through the efforts of Rainsong, foreigners buying land in this area of Costa Rica are becoming more mindful of the impact of a growing population on the country's fragile ecosystem, and have been seeking out the help of Rainsong in reforesting their land with hardwoods and plants that attract animals native to the area. An encouraging sign, however the efforts of the few are quickly overshadowed by the unconsciousness of the majority.

"This project is close to my heart, because I have worked side by side with these guardians of the planet, in awe of the bravery it takes to dedicate ones life to giving back to our shared earth."

The entire project, with it's enormous goals, is funded solely through donations and the hard work of the volunteers. Every penny that Mary and Simon see, goes right back into the project ... Ralnsong does not receive Government funding.
