DO YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE WORLD?

We do too! Let’s join forces.

We are protecting sea turtles, planting trees, promoting regenerative agriculture and ecosystem restoration in highly degraded places in what used to be a virgin rain forest in the South Pacific of Costa Rica.

The foundation’s volunteers learn about and support the local community in different regenerative practices: improving food security, protecting the water supply, and restoring biodiversity threatened by human and climate disruption.

Our goal is to reforest 5,000 trees by 2030, covering 5 hectares and protect 85 hectares in the hands of communities, which were vulnerable and degraded lands, as a way to join the United Nations (UN) call to action to join forces to prevent, halt and reverse the degradation of ecosystems around the world.

Reforesting 12 acres by 2023 will help us produce 1,730 metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) over 20 years.

what our volunteers say

For me, Corcovado Foundation has been one of the best experiences. Nowhere else I had the opportunity to see turtles and getting here was a dream.

Keytlin Solano

For me the experience has been incredible in every way. I feel that I have been too fortunate to live this experience that appeared in difficult times that society lives and for me coming here was a relief.
