At Inti Wara Yassi in Bolivia, more than 200 monkeys, hundreds of parrots and toucans, and a few
wildcats and tortoises have found refuge.
The project is unique - not only in Bolivia. Its name, Inti Wara Yassi means "Sun, stars, moon". "When we started, we had nothing except a tent, a few maltreated animals and lots of hope", remembers Juan Carlos Antezana, founder of the project.
But today, Antezana not only cares for harmed animals he also assists former street children. The former street children also look after the animals and settle in the natural park.
