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.

Why are our Partners so important to us?

They allow us to move quickly You enable us to maintain a “first-aid kit� that can be used, in environmental emergencies when and were needed.

You allow us to commit with long-term efforts Environmental solutions require efforts that can take years. Before Neotr贸pica engages in long-term initiatives, such as environmental education programs in urban schools we need to be assured that these efforts can be completed.
