Esperanza de Libertad's Land Purchase Project:

Esperanza de Libertad's short-term goal is to raise money to buy land in Bolivia. We plan on purchasing land right at the doorway to the rainforest, which is ground zero for the illegal animal trade. We hope to stop as much animal trafficking as we can in that area so fewer animals will be taken from the wild. We hope to purchase as much land as possible in the form of a land trust (meaning that, though we may not use all the land for our sanctuary, it will be spared from the enormous amount of logging and meat production that is destroying it at an alarming rate). Once enough money is raised, land is purchased, and construction is completed, we have two long-term goals.

Esperanza de Libertad's Rehabilitation and Release Project:

The primary goal for Esperanza de Libertad's rehabilitation and release project is to rescue Bolivian animals that have not lived long in captivity and work with them until they can be released back into their jungle home. We plan on accepting all animals that are candidates for rehabilitation. We will work on their rehabilitation and release them back into the jungles of Bolivia.

Esperanza de Libertad's Sanctuary Project:

The primary goal for Esperanza de Libertad's Sanctuary Project is to provide a place to live for captive primates who cannot be released back into the wild. They will be cared for in their natural habitat, surrounded by other members of their species, and free from abuse for the rest of their lives. We hope to focus our long-term efforts on all Bolivian monkey species.

Our long-term goal is to work with the many monkeys raised or bred in captivity. There are monkeys in zoos and circuses throughout the world that are closing down, there are monkeys that have been used in animal experimentation and are no longer "needed" by scientists, there are monkeys that have been illegally trafficked out of South America being raised as pets. Most of these monkeys' roots can be traced back to these same jungles of South America. Though we understand that they can't be thrown into the foreign world of the jungle, we hope that they can live out the remainder of there lives in a sanctuary built around the very same trees their grandparents once swung from.

We hope to use the international community to raise funding. We believe it is essential to have as many sanctuaries and animal groups spread throughout Bolivia, and the world, as possible.
