Cielo Wildlife Sanctuary & Welcome Center
About the Project
The project's goal is to transform an existing structure on the Cielo Ranch Reserve to serve as an educational center for visitors, and also offer accommodations for volunteers dedicated to our conservation efforts. By integrating a welcome center, the project will also help to raise awareness and inspire conservation action among the broader community.
Goals
• To renovate and equip an existing old house to serve as a welcoming center for day visitors.
• To offer educational programs and interactive experiences for visitors, promoting wildlife conservation awareness.
• To accommodate on-site volunteers who play a crucial role in the day-to-day operations and the broader volunteer conservation efforts of the reserve.
Impacts
• Directly contributes to the preservation of local wildlife.
• Enhances the educational outreach and conservation advocacy of the Cielo Ranch Reserve.
• Strengthens community engagement and volunteer involvement in wildlife conservation.
• Serves as a model for integrating wildlife with volunteer and visitor engagement in conservation areas.
