Coastal forests are key ecosystems for biodiversity, climate adaptation, and community well-being.
Unfortunately, in Costa Rica, these ecosystems were devastated several decades ago due to human activities and, unlike other types of forests that can regenerate on their own, it takes a significant amount of planning and careful human intervention to help recover them. Costas Verdes is committed to bringing the forest back to our beaches, preserving this ecosystem and its wildlife and providing safe and beautiful public spaces for local communities.
Since 2010, we have served as a bridge connecting local communities, schools, businesses, organizations, and public institutions to restore these ecosystems and recover their environmental services.
— Almost 100,000 trees planted since 2010
— 96 native coastal tree species reintroduced
— Reforested in 30 beaches from South, Central and North Pacific
— 4 Tree Nurseries producing +12,000 trees/year
— 35 local schools actively involved
— +12,000 volunteers and counting!
