The Jaguar Rescue Center has finished a fundraising campaign with the organization Ma Earth that raised $20,000 to insulate 50 electrical transformers in Costa Rica’s South Caribbean, in an effort to reduce wildlife electrocutions in the region. In one recent week the center received seven electrocuted animals. International Animal Rescue Costa Rica reports close to 100 electrocuted animals a year in the Nosara area alone, while the Jaguar Rescue Center took in 53 animals in 2024. Rescue centers around Costa Rica receive animals affected by electrical discharge every three to five days, and roughly 90% of electrocuted animals die. The Jaguar Rescue Center receives no government funding and operates on donations, community support and entrance fees, taking in around 1,000 animals a year.
