Have you heard about the plan to transform Dominical?

Developers propose spending $700 million in Dominical on four luxury hotels plus condos, townhouses and villas totaling 1 or 2 thousand beds in a town of 400 people.

Construction would occur near former wetlands and in mature forest.

Osa Vive has been investigating the details and permits of this project. We have also been working closely with community members in Dominical to find out what they think. We have not found much support for this gargantuan project.

Osa Vive believes that communities should have a say in how their area develops. We have been posting information about the project on social media to educate the public. We are pleased that our posts have generated a lot of discussion. You can see the comments folks made about the project and maybe share your thoughts by clicking here to see the first Facebook post we made on this project: View Facebook Post

You can learn much more about “The Dominical Project” at a special website devoted just to that topic: thedominicalproject.com

Osa Vive will continue to uncover and share information about major projects with the public. We are also committed to continuing our legal work including scrutiny of permits and taking legal action against environmental lawbreakers.

Osa Vive is a 100% non-profit registered in Costa Rica. Nobody at Osa Vive gets paid. But we do need funds to do this work: to pay lawyers, to boost social media posts, to print fliers, and more. If you would like to support what we do please join us, volunteer your time, and stay informed with our newsletter. https://osavive.org/get-involved/

The future of the Southern Zone is in our hands. We will not stand by and watch monied interests destroy the environment and steamroll local communities. Together, we can do this.
