Palliata Santuario de Vida Silvestre is a small, privately owned and run wildlife sanctuary with long standing roots in the rehabilitation of mantled howler monkeys and other natural fauna of Panama, located about 1 hour from David, a modern city with all amenities.

We aim to successfully rehabilitate and release native wildlife, to create a biodiversity corridor connecting two fragments of primary rainforest through reforestation, to become somewhat self-sustainable through cultivation to provide for the animals’ needs, to increase environmental awareness through sustainable ecotourism, to develop research programs and to successfully execute them, to increase and improve the forest, its biodiversity, and our facilities, and to offer new and exciting opportunities to students and volunteers from around the world.

PROGRAM NOW CLOSED.
