forests
Working with companies to mutually build beneficial relationships Witness how economic development is achieved without undermining the environment
This is the balanced country, model amongst other nations that Fundaci贸n Neotr贸pica dreams for Costa Rica.
This is the reality that we face There is an unfair distribution of the benefits arising from the use of
natural resources. The consequences of this injustice affect all the world. It affects our country and our homes. It affects everyone.
You and me‌
And furthermore ‌ very few people decide to get actively
involved in order to solve the challenges related to economic development and environmental conservation
In Neotrópica Foundation we have a
solid proposal for
this situation, but we can’t implement it on our own
¡We need you!
Fundaci贸n Neotr贸pica promotes social dialogue and community self management in conservation for the fair and equitable sharing of benefits generated by natural resources.
