Currently, we are responding to the request from the Ministry of Environment in Costa Rica to help them protect the Punta Mala-Playa Hermosa Wildlife Refuge sea turtle population. This sea turtle population is very large. However, the majority of the nests are lost to high tides, and the uncontrolled growth of predators due to the ecosystem is unbalanced, by the hunting of large predators. Our biologists and volunteers work tirelessly to relocate the nests and save as many eggs as possible.

Nat Geographic described Corcovado National Park as "the most biologically intense area in the world "; and El Pais in Spain described it as one of the "25 Most Spectacular National Parks in the World" Unfortunately, its financial situation is dreadful, the park only receives 10% of the funding needed to fully operate. In the mean time, illegal hunters, loggers and miners are hurting the fragile biodiversity of the park. While park rangers lack of fuel and food to do their patrols.

The COVID-19 has deeply impacted tourist communities. There are families with ZERO income struggling to bring food to their tables. We have been providing basic support to those in the most desperate situation, at this point 250 packages of food have been distributed to the most vulnerable families in Drake Bay. This fund was created to provide small donations to communities in Osa Peninsula. The gifts to local groups were used for community improvements such as drinking water systems, etc.

We promote climate-friendly agriculture, restore ecosystems, and plant trees to promote stewardship of the natural environment and produce healthy food. Poverty is the cause of Osa's depletion of natural resources. To protect our natural environment, reduce vulnerability to climate change, and promote food security, our environmental education program is working with hundreds of families and has empowered and trained them about their leading role as stewards of the environment and changemakers.
