Curaçao Sunchild Foundation, led by Marcus DeMaaijer, initiated Curacao Animal Rescue & Education a.k.a TeamCARE.
TeamCARE’s mission:
1. Rescue, rehabilitate and release wild animals and/or their orphaned young back into the wild
2. Create awareness about environmental issues
3. Remove non-native flora and fauna from the wildlife habitats;
4. Enforce CITES (Convention of International Trade of Endangered Species);
5. Broadcast live internet video and audio of animals.
Volunteers are always needed for a wide variety of activities ranging from monitoring of sea turtle nests when they hatch or eggs are being laid, bird-counting, locating and removing invasive flora and fauna, creating awareness in schools, helping with video and photography, maintaining online presence, fundraising activities, taking care of baby birds and bunnies, and more.
