Small but Mighty

ECWR cares for 12 ambassador animals and each day, volunteers clean their habitats and provide clean food, water, as well as enrichment. Our ambassador animals are on educational display, allowing the public to safely see them up close and learn about their unique biology and their individual stories. Because all of our ambassador animals are considered "non-releasable" and can never

go back to the wild, they provide valuable education and experiences to visitors and help foster conservation for their wild counterparts.
