We believe in protecting our shared world by treating every living being with kindness. The global mission for wildlife begins at home, through rescue, sanctuary, and education. Animals need our help…all of us.
our mission
is to protect and preserve wildlife through impactful education and compassionate rescue.
We empower individuals with knowledge, advocate for ecosystems, and provide lifelong sanctuary for animals in need - working together for a future where people and nature thrive in harmony.
It’s our honor to provide for these incredible individuals and share their stories with the world.
our sanctuary
Because We Matter is located on 10 acres of secluded forestland in the Pacific Northwest.
We provide sanctuary to exotic animals in need. Whether their past is one of abuse or good care, these animals cannot be released to the wild and need a safe & healthy environment to live out their remaining years. Our ambassadors educate thousands of youth through dynamic virtual education.
