Conservation participation programs

Real rehabilitation, restoration, and education processes.

Fundación Loros · Programs

Not visits. Field work.


We are a sanctuary for psittacines and a tropical dry forest restoration project in Villanueva, Bolívar.

Our programs are not tours or attractions: they are immersive experiences where each participant works with the team on the real tasks that keep the sanctuary running. You hike, plant, feed, monitor. You leave with learning because you leave with work done.

How they work

Each program is organized into subgroups that rotate through the different stations of the sanctuary: aviaries, Nursery, monitoring sectors, restoration areas. This ensures small groups, personalized attention, and exposure to every dimension of the work.

Each subgroup receives specific missions guided by a caretaker or biologist from the team. These are not demonstrations: they are the same tasks we do every day to keep this place running. If the mission is to release a bird, you are part of the process. If the mission is to plant ten trees, you plant them.

At the end of the day, we hold a joint closing where we share what each subgroup learned and what the team recorded about wildlife, restoration, or safety. This is where individual work becomes collective knowledge.

Participation, not exhibition

Every visit with a school ends with trees planted, fruit harvested, birds fed, and observations recorded. Students take part in the real work of conservation; they don't come to watch, they come to leave the place better than they found it.
