This NGO was formed by a group of Costa Rican conservation biologists, research scientists, and educators, including expert guide Jose Pablo Castillo who has led many Sunrise Birding trips.

This presentation will highlight how community-driven conservation is safeguarding critical ecosystems while supporting research, education, and sustainable stewardship in the heart of Costa Rica's central caribbean foothills — a place where Cerulean Warblers, endemic plants, rare amphibians, and hundreds of bird species share the same forest.
Whether you are passionate about birds, tropical ecology, conservation, or travel, this is an opportunity to learn about a region of extraordinary natural richness and the people working to protect it for future generations.
We hope you can join us for this engaging and inspiring evening.
