A hopeful update on our electrocuted howler monkey ❤️

After 48 hours of critical care, this sweet girl was up, alert, and stable today. While being closely monitored following the removal of her IV, we offered her some fresh mango—and she eagerly gobbled it up! 🥭🐒

Seeing her eating, moving around, and showing interest in her surroundings is incredibly encouraging. Electrocution injuries can be unpredictable, but so far she continues to exceed our expectations. If she continues progressing this well, we are hopeful she may be ready to return to the wild very soon.

Thank you to everyone who has been keeping her in your thoughts and prayers. Your support means so much to our team and to the animals fighting for a second chance. 🙏

Actualización esperanzadora sobre nuestra paciente, una mona aulladora electrocutada ❤️

Después de 48 horas de cuidados intensivos, esta hermosa mona estaba hoy despierta, alerta y estable. Mientras la monitoreábamos de cerca tras retirarle la vía intravenosa, le ofrecimos un poco de mango fresco ¡y lo devoró con muchísimo entusiasmo! 🥭🐒

Verla comer, moverse y mostrar interés por su entorno es una señal sumamente alentadora. Las lesiones por electrocución pueden ser impredecibles, pero hasta ahora ha superado nuestras expectativas. Si continúa evolucionando así de bien, esperamos poder devolverla a la vida silvestre muy pronto.

Gracias a todos los que la han mantenido en sus pensamientos y oraciones. Su apoyo significa muchísimo para nuestro equipo y para cada animal que lucha por una segunda oportunidad. 🙏

Last night, we received an emergency call about an electrocuted howler monkey.

Sadly, we've received enough of these calls that we now feel that sinking feeling in our stomachs before we even arrive. Too often, these stories don't have a happy ending.

Still, our team responded with hope.

This beautiful monkey was brought to our rescue center and immediately placed under intensive care. She is receiving IV fluids, pain management, supportive treatment, and around-the-clock monitoring.

Electrocution injuries can be devastating, and the road ahead is uncertain. But for now, she is resting comfortably, and we remain hopeful that she will be one of the few lucky survivors of this preventable tragedy.

Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers as she fights to recover. 🙏🫶

Every life matters.

Anoche recibimos una llamada de emergencia por un mono congo electrocutado.

Lamentablemente, hemos recibido suficientes casos como este para sentir ese n**o en el estómago apenas entra la llamada. Con demasiada frecuencia, estas historias no tienen un final feliz.

Aun así, nuestro equipo respondió con esperanza.

Esta hermosa monita fue trasladada de inmediato a nuestro centro de rescate, donde está recibiendo fluidoterapia intravenosa, manejo del dolor, tratamiento de soporte y monitoreo constante.

Las lesiones por electrocución pueden ser devastadoras y el camino hacia la recuperación es incierto. Pero por ahora está descansando y recibiendo todos los cuidados necesarios. Mantenemos la esperanza de que sea una de las pocas afortunadas que logra sobrevivir a esta tragedia prevenible.

Por favor, manténganla en sus pensamientos y oraciones mientras lucha por recuperarse. 🙏🫶

Cada vida importa.

💔 Electrocutions remain one of the leading human-caused threats facing howler monkeys in Costa Rica. Together, we can do better.

💔 Las electrocuciones siguen siendo una de las principales amenazas causadas por el ser humano para los monos congo en Costa Rica. Juntos podemos hacerlo mejor.

💛 A second chance starts with a single life.

This tiny dove chick arrived this afternoon at Sol Sanctuary after the tree holding its nest was cut down. During the removal, the nest was displaced and this little one lost the protection and care of its parents before it was ready to survive on its own.

At this age, nestlings are completely dependent on their parents for warmth, food, and safety. Without intervention, many orphaned chicks like this never get the opportunity to grow up.

Our wildlife rehabilitation team is now providing around-the-clock care, specialized feeding, and monitoring to give this baby the best possible chance of returning to the wild where it belongs.

As development continues throughout Costa Rica, situations like this remind us how important it is to check trees carefully before trimming or removing them, especially during nesting season. A single tree can be home to an entire family.

Please remember: if you find a baby bird, do not assume it has been abandoned. Contact a licensed wildlife rescue center for guidance before intervening.

We’re rooting for this little survivor every step of the way. 💚🐦

Trigger warning: 🐍Wildlife rescue isn't always cute baby animals. Sometimes it's a very large and aggressive Boa that needs some TLC for their injuries. Thankfully our team at was up for the challenge. How do you feel about the sound she makes?

El tiempo se agota.
Costa Rica enfrenta una decisión urgente. 🚨🐒

El Proyecto de Ley de Pasos de Fauna (Expediente 23.166), ya aprobado en primer debate en la Asamblea Legislativa, corre el riesgo de ser archivado si las diputadas y diputados no aprueban la moción presentada el pasado 13 de mayo, necesaria para que el proyecto pueda mantenerse activo y continuar su proceso legislativo.
Si el proyecto es archivado, perderíamos una oportunidad histórica para avanzar en la protección de su fauna silvestre.
La fragmentación de bosques, la tala y la falta de planificación ambiental obligan a miles de animales a cruzar carreteras y tendidos eléctricos para sobrevivir. Mientras esta ley continúa estancada, la fauna silvestre sigue muriendo diariamente como consecuencia de estas amenazas. Las soluciones existen y han demostrado ser efectivas. En Costa Rica ya se han documentado decenas de especies utilizando pasos de fauna para cruzar carreteras y zonas fragmentadas de forma segura.
Por eso hacemos un llamado urgente a las diputadas y diputados de todas las fracciones para que aprueben la moción de plazo y permitan que el proyecto continúe hacia segundo debate y su eventual aprobación como ley de la
República.
Sumate firmando la petición ciudadana:

Hoy más que nunca necesitamos alzar la voz. Las diputadas y diputados deben permitir que este proyecto continúe hacia su segundo debate.

Good evening! Do you know of anyone who is flying this month to Liberia from anywhere in the US? If they have a little spare room in their checked luggage, we would greatly appreciate their help 🙏🏼

Sol Sanctuary needs special wildlife formulas to feed tiny orphan raccoons, squirrels and opossums. Please send a PM if you know anyone who might be willing and able to transport a few small packets 💕

There are moments when everything quietly comes full circle. 🤍

When we first dreamed up , it was always meant to be more than a place for people—it was meant to be a place for wildlife, too. A place of safety, healing, and second chances.

Recently, we’ve begun stepping into that part of our mission.

This little one—an orphaned howler monkey—arrived needing critical care, assisted feeding, and safety… and reminded us exactly why this work matters. Every life that passes through here carries a story—and it’s an honor to be part of their journey back to the wild.

We’re moving slowly, intentionally, and in alignment with the proper authorities and protocols, ensuring that every animal receives the care they deserve.

If you’ve stayed with us, supported us, or followed along—this is part of what you’ve helped make possible.

More to come, as we grow into this next chapter. 🌿
