Senda Verde is a non-profit wildlife sanctuary in La Paz, Bolivia that has been rescuing animals from illegal trafficking and habitat loss since their founding in 2003.

Last year, the wildfires in Bolivia's rainforests worsened exponentially, and it was considered the worst fire season to have affected the country. As a result, millions of wildlife lost their habitats, and the conditions of the rainforests have ceased to improve. Senda Verde is actively rehabilitating animals from these fires and is providing them with medicine, food, and shelter.

My name is Adamaris, and Envenders (Environmental Defenders) is the organization that I have founded to raise funds for non-profit organizations like Senda Verde whose main goal is to protect the environment and its wildlife. Last year, when the wildfires were consuming large areas in the Bolivian rainforest, I felt hopeless after discovering the lack of financial assistance organizations like Senda Verda were receiving. So when volunteers were needed to raise funds for multiple organizations combating wildfires and rescuing animals, I just had to sign up!

This volunteering experience allowed me to meet and work alongside some wonderful people who care about the environment in Bolivia as much as I do. Thanks to this experience, I decided to start my very own organization so that I can continue to provide assistance where it is most needed.

This year, I'm choosing to help Senda Verde by raising funds for the next 60 days so they can continue to provide basic necessities for the wildlife under their care and their volunteers. In addition to this GoFundMe, Envenders will be hosting several fundraising events in the next 60 days and I will be eternally grateful for any contribution you are willing to make.

We only have one planet Earth. Help me make a difference.
