Costa Rica’s Biodiversity

Fighting against irresponsible development in the Southern Zone, and beyond.

Development and Conservation

Decades ago, Costa Rica’s citizens and government decided to put conservation and renewable energy over short-term profit. They demonstrated that a tiny but mighty Latin American country could be an example for the rest of the world. Thanks to this foresight, Costa Rica is more forested than it has been in decades and its incredible biodiversity – 6% of the world’s plants and animals live here! – has been conserved. Costa Rica has chosen to have a green future and we are here to help them succeed.
