Buttercup Foundation

The Buttercup Foundation takes its name from one of the first sloths that we rescued and who has become the mascot and symbol of Aviarios. You can read more about the Buttercup Sloth Rescue Center by clicking here. Buttercup is not only a principle member of Aviarios but she has also helped biologist in the research of sloth behaviors.

MISSION:
Teach the world to love the rain forest and understand why we must protect it for the generations to come.

GOALS:
Educate the public to be individually responsible for its effect on the environment.

OBJECTIVES

1. Create school programs in which children of all ages throughout Costa Rica and the world visit Aviarios Wildlife Sanctuary and rescue center to learn firsthand about their environment and the animals they share it with, especially the sloths.

2. Raise funds to buy the remaining portion of the island in the sanctuary, and when that is fully protected, to buy more land adjacent to Aviarios for protection.

3. Create an ongoing exotic wildlife veterinarian scholarship fund for Costa Rican veterinary students to travel abroad to study exotic wildlife medicine and return to work in Costa Rica, specifically at Aviarios.

4. Create a scientific research center for the study of sloths at Aviarios.
