Reforestion Efforts
The Sarapiqui region makes up the majority of the San Juan-La Selva Biological Corridor, which is just a one section of the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor. This corridor runs from southern Mexico through all of The Sarapiqui region makes up the majority of the San Juan-La Selva Biological Corridor, which is just a one section of the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor. This corridor runs from southern Mexico through all of Central America to the South American continent, serving as a natural land bridge and is crucial for migrating species.
The idea is to make sure that forests and undisturbed natural habitats run continuously throughout the region and do not become patches or “islands”, which cut off species and make migration nearly impossible.
In the late 20th century there was heavy deforestation in the Sarapiqui area leaving the remaining forests isolated. Costa Rica has implemented strict laws that protect endangered species and require permits to cut down trees.
In hopes of connecting the public and private reserves and other forests in the area, we take visitors out to targeted areas to reforest. We usually focus on planting bigger hardwood trees, especially the Almendro (Dipteryx panamensis). The Almendro tree is an endangered species and a nationally protected tree. It is also the nesting and feeding tree of the Lapa Verde or Great Green Macaw (Ara Ambiguus), also greatly endangered. Sarapiqui is where the last remaining green macaws can be seen, thanks to efforts by the Corridor’s Council and member organizations.
Join us in our reforestation efforts; depending on how much you want to sweat, we will cater a project to your desires. We stake the area to be planted and provide the trees and the shovels, you bring your boots, hat, sunblock, repellent and positive energy. Every tree planted makes a BIG impact!
