Miguel Guevara – Founder

Miguel Guevara founder of Grow Jungles, he turns bold conservation ideas into tangible action: restoring wildlife corridors, rewilding degraded landscapes, and creating sustainable livelihoods for local communities. He works directly with local universities and research institutions to base every initiative on science, from species tracking to ecosystem health monitoring, ensuring that each project is measurable, scalable, and lasting.

For Miguel, conservation is tactical. It’s about understanding which lands to protect, how to connect fragmented habitats, and how to empower communities economically so they become active stewards rather than passive beneficiaries. Every reforested hectare, every corridor reintroduced, every local leader trained is a step toward generational protection of Costa Rica’s unique ecosystems.

His approach is rooted in a simple principle: nature thrives when we stop dominating and start aligning with it. Grow Jungles isn’t just a conservation organization—it’s a blueprint for living in harmony with the wild, where people, forests, and wildlife can all prosper for decades to come.
