CIWY, or Comunidad Inti Wara Yassi, is a Bolivian non-governmental organization that is deeply committed to the welfare and conservation of wildlife. With a primary focus on rescuing, rehabilitating, and caring for animals affected by illegal wildlife trade and other forms of harm, CIWY is at the forefront of the fight for animal rights and the protection of the environment in Bolivia. Working closely with Bolivian authorities, CIWY actively seeks to enforce wildlife protection laws, engaging in operations to seize and rescue animals from poachers and merchants, as well as substandard zoos.

Additionally, CIWY plays a vital role in rehabilitating injured wildlife, including those affected by fires and natural disasters. The organization's efforts extend beyond direct animal care. CIWY is deeply committed to education, both locally and nationally, conducting projects aimed at raising awareness about wildlife conservation.

The organization also engages in research and scientific dissemination, further contributing to the knowledge and understanding of Bolivia's rich biodiversity. To support CIWY's important work, you can make a donation, volunteer, or even become an animal sponsor. Their online store offers a range of items, including calendars, clothing, accessories, jewelry, and stationery, with proceeds going towards funding their initiatives.
