Grow JunglesStrategy
We believe that conservation is made possible through community involvement, economic growth and inclusivity.
Connecting Biological Corridors
Only 25%, We Need 33% More
Currently, only 25% of Costa Rica is protected. The biological corridors needed to guarantee the future make up 33% of the unprotected land.
Technology and Biodiversity
Protect the freedom to roam for both people and wildlife through guaranteed habitat building and preservation using the latest monitoring technology.
Freedom and Protection
Using the latest technology to ensure the existence of these natural landscapes for future generations through camera traps and monitoring.
Private Conservation Land as Corridors
Conservation-minded landowners play a critical role in creating the biological corridors Costa Rica needs. By protecting private land between national parks, we create pathways for wildlife to move freely.
Wildlife Freedom
Jaguars, tapirs, and scarlet macaws can migrate between protected areas
Habitat Connectivity
Continuous forest allows species to thrive and ecosystems to function
Monitoring & Protection
44 camera traps document wildlife movement through corridors
Connecting Ecosystems
Strategic land conservation creates pathways for wildlife
Connecting Land Conservation
Continual Stewardship through Land Conservation: Sustaining Our Natural Heritage
How We Do Land Conservation
A jaguar needs up to 100 km² to roam. When the forest is fragmented, populations become isolated and disappear. Every property we protect returns one more step to their journey.
Resource Reinvestment
We reinvest a significant portion of our resources into these lands. This allows us to track, document, and support the diverse wildlife.
Reforestation Initiatives
Through reforestation initiatives, we strive to expand habitats for diverse wildlife, further bolstering biodiversity.
Support for Property Stewards
We aid property stewards in registering with FONAFIFO, securing an annual stipend that recognizes their commitment.
FONAFIFO Program
The Costa Rican government's program encourages habitat restoration through reforestation, offering financial incentives to landowners.
Benefits Of Our Conservation Efforts
Every protected acre creates a ripple effect — from the jaguar to the community around it.
Biodiversity
Safe habitat for endangered species
Resilience
Ecosystems that withstand climate change
Corridors
Fragmented forests joined back together
Local Economy
Conservation jobs for local communities
Community
Wellbeing rooted in a living forest
Future Reserve & Training Center
Bringing technology, opportunity, education and ecology to the rural rainforest
Grow Jungles rainforest reserve will create a launching pad to prepare generations of future conservation leaders through experiential learning and community building by adapting to the fast pace of technology and applying real-world solutions in conservation.
Conservation, sustainability, rewilding, and truly preserving biodiversity require a modern approach and democratization of the technical skillset of those willing to take on the task.
By mobilizing the surrounding community and utilizing crowdsource technology, data, and skill set, we can make Costa Rica the leader in advanced technology in a tropical rainforest.
Big Data & Machine Learning
Advanced technology for wildlife monitoring and habitat analysis
Community Education
Training local communities in conservation technology and practices
Sustainable Infrastructure
Solar energy and eco-adaptable design for self-sustainability
"The reserve will be a model for self-sustainability and eco-adaptability. We want to establish this reserve in Costa Rica because of its biodiversity and a native home to the jaguar, puma, tapir, monkey species, a wide variety of reptiles, and endless trees and plants."
