Jaguar vs. caimƔn, duelo de titanes
Artist: Isabelle Chico
Inspiration: Mi obra se centra en los animales amenazados y en especial, aquellos presentes en LatinoamĆ©rica. El jaguar, por ser una especie sombrilla en su ecosistema, ademĆ”s de por su innegable belleza, siempre me ha fascinado. Y esas escenas del gran felino, lanzĆ”ndose con su pesada agilidad al agua turbia para matar de una mordida a otro gran depredador son algo mĆ”gico, la naturaleza supera siempre la ficciĆ³n.

Flight to Fish
Artist: Artworks by CR
Inspiration: From the beginning of memory Iāve existed at the intersection of art and science with an innate passion to document the world around me that drives my creation. My work follows what Iām able to capture photographically, translated in combinations of paint, marker, pencil, and digital media. With conservation of our planet more important now than ever, I aim to share my own wonder in hopes itās catching.

New Name. Same Mission. More Wildlife Saved.
For five years, photographers, artists, nature lovers, and wildlife supporters from around the world have come together for one purpose: to give Costa Ricaās wildlife a second chance.
What began as #TRRShareYourShot, #CallforArtists, and #TunesforToucans has grown into something even bigger. Today, we proudly introduce a new name that reflects the true heart of this initiative:
Share to Save
Because every piece of art shared, every story told, and every person inspired can help save a life.
Over the years, this arts contest has helped Toucan Rescue Ranch strengthen our Rescue Center, Sanctuary, and Release Site ā supporting the spaces where rescued wildlife can recover, rehabilitate, and prepare for their return to the forest.
At Toucan Rescue Ranch, we believe art is more than creativity ā it is a bridge between people and wildlife.
This year, every dollar raised through Share to Save will go directly toward the operational costs that allow Toucan Rescue Ranch to continue rescuing and caring for wildlife.
These funds help cover the daily expenses required to run our Rescue Center and Sanctuary, including food, medications, rehabilitation care, enclosure maintenance, veterinary supplies, and the specialized resources animals need during the entire time they remain under our protection.
Attention Creatives ā This Is for You!
Your art can do more than inspire.
Support wildlife rehabilitation from anywhere in the world by sharing your creativity. Submit your art, photography, designs, or any creative piece inspired by wildlife and conservation, and help raise awareness for the animals that need it most.
Why Your Support Matters
At Toucan Rescue Ranch, it costs over $50,000 each month to provide food, medical care, and safe rehabilitation for the wildlife that arrives at our doors.
We know this is a big challenge. But if together we can raise $10,000, it will make an immediate difference for the animals currently in our care.
Unlike many institutions, we do not receive financial subsidies from the government. Our work is made possible entirely through donations, supporters, and initiatives like this contest.
Your participation helps ensure that injured, sick, and orphaned wildlife receive the care they need ā and the opportunity to return to the forests where they belong.
Our mission goes beyond helping animals survive.
It is about healing them, strengthening them, and giving them a real second chance in the wild.
