Where necessary, IAR will reduce suffering through hands-on rescue; wherever possible, rescued wildlife will be rehabilitated and returned to the wild. Animals that cannot be released are provided permanent sanctuary.
Its work includes cutting free and caring for captive bears in India[2] and Armenia, rescuing and rehabilitating orangutans [3]and other primates in Indonesia and treating injured and orphaned wildlife in Costa Rica.[4] IAR strives to educate the public [5]in the humane treatment of all animals and the preservation of the natural environment. International Animal Rescue has offices in the United Kingdom and United States.
