The rescue station rescues animals confiscated from the illegal animal trade in the city and surrounding provinces. This is the first multi-species rescue station in southern Vietnam that can accept many endangered wild species. After the animals are rehabilitated, they are returned back to the wild.
 

From 2007 till the present, the station has rescued over 2,000 animals of many endangered species. Among those, over 1,100 have been released back to the wild.

The Station is a cooperative program between Wildlife At Risk (WAR) and the Ho Chi Minh City Forest Protection Department.

To encourage the public to take part in protecting wildlife, the Station is open to all guests. Each guest is expected to contribute 200,000 VND for each visit. All of the money is used to buy food and to take care of the animals. Visiting hours are from Monday to Sunday, 7h30-11h30 and 13h00-16h30.

At the Cu Chi Wildlife Rescue Station, you will see endangered animals, and learn stories and special features of different animals. You can also visit the display centers to find out what you can do to help. You can also feed the animals or prepare food for them.
