In Costa Rica, many kids are growing up surrounded by incredible biodiversity — but limited access to wildlife education. We’re changing that.

Monkeyfriendly’s Wildlife Education Initiative brings the wild to the classroom! Each month, local guides and conservationists team up to teach kids about the amazing animals in their own backyard — and how to protect them.

This wild adventure wouldn’t be possible without our incredible local partners! 🐾 From the rainforests to the beaches, we’re teaming up with some amazing folks in Costa Rica to bring free wildlife education to local communities—because learning about nature should be as fun and free as the animals we’re learning about! 🌺🦥

Costa Rica is the land of pura vida, inspired by natural beauty, joyful connections and gratitude for daily pleasures.
