We are the couple Silvia and Marcos Pompeu, idealizers and founders of the Ecological Sanctuary Association - Rancho dos Gnomos (Cotia/SP - Brasil).

In the past 24 years we offer support to brazilian official entities IBAMA (Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources), Civil Police, Environmental Military Police, Federal Police, Civil Defense, Departments of Environment, etc. during 24 hours per day rescuing domestic, exotic and wild animals from apprehensions and rescues in abuse or environment crimes situations (circus, cockfight, deforestation, burning, trafficking, ritual, abandon, fur industry, etc.)

At the present time we shelter in our headquarters about 230 animals (lions, jaguars, sloths, deer, macaws, parrots, monkeys, otters, dogs, cats, etc.)

We work based on permaculture, using the dry treatment of excrement from big felines (lion and jaguar), turning them into humus, which returns to the earth as fertilizer. The treatment of excrement of other animals is carried out in the biodigester, which turns them into biogas and energy. We work also with gray water treatment, bio-construction with green roof, compost, organic gardening, etc.

We also conducted a complete environmental education program which have passed about 25,000 children and teenagers throughout school system.

Unfortunately, with the quickly growth of Cotia/SP, the city is surrounding and pushing us, leaving the animals in vulnerable situations. So, to continue our mission to save lives, we need as soon as possible, to move to another location. After a while, we found the perfect place at the Serra da Mantiqueira to accommodate the Rancho dos Gnomos and give animals a home in the middle of nature. Now, we need your support to get the necessary resource to purchase a new land!

Rancho dos Gnomos is localized in a area 33.783m² (40.404yr²) in the city of Cotia/SP (Brasil), where we can shelter animals from different species. However, with the numerous requests for receiving animals in risky situations, we exceed our physical space currently available.

We are in a new phase. In the past 24 years of operation, Rancho dos Gnomos followed with apprehension the growth of the city Cotia/SP. Today, the city is surrounding and pushing us. Our headquarters, first located in a peaceful rural are, now belongs to a urban perimeter of Grand São Paulo, with all of its arising peculiarities, including the subway implementation project for a population that exceeds 230,000 inhabitants. So, to continue our mission to save lives, we need as soon as possible, to move to another location. It’s time to move out. After a while, we found the perfect place at the Gonçalves/MG to accommodate the Rancho dos Gnomos and give animals a home in the middle of nature.

Why the city of Gonçalves/MG?

For being close but far enough away from the buzz of São Paulo: are 204 km (about 126 mile) by the Ayrton Senna/Carvalho Pinto Roads with good road access, located at Serra da Mantiqueira, with plenthy of nature and just over 4.000 inhabitants, with peaks with peaks that reach 2100m of high (about 6889ft).

At Gonçalves, we found a perfect place for an Ecological Sanctuary. It’s a property with 18 hectares, source of drinking water, housing infrastructure, all the documentation in order and 10 km (6 miles) from downtown.

We are living an unique moment, confidents that we are taking an appropriate decision and well-considered. We want to continue our work and mission of life. We have an enormous gratitude for Cotia / SP, but you must go forward.

We need to make the purchase of the new property, so we count on all our friends and partners!

This courageous initiative involves putting together a large number of animal lovers in the biggest crowdfunding campaign ever realized in Brazil, with the support of NPO Ampara Animal, Institute Luisa Mell and Group Porta dos Fundos.
