Jana traveled to remote Nosara Costa Rica to attend a yoga retreat and visit one of the country’s only legal animal refuge centers dedicated to rehabbing native howler monkeys. Brenda and family have dedicated their lives to rescuing and treating injured Howler monkeys along with an array of other creatures (porcupines, possum, squirrels, birds) and releasing then back into the wild. Animal trafficking is abundant in this country and her efforts are helping stop this illegal practice. GCS made a financial contribution to Brenda’s facility along with bringing baby formula to the new arrivals that no longer have their mothers to feed them. Learn more.
