Why Reforestation?
Global warming is a threat to the well-being our global ecosystem and economy. Rising temperatures are leading us to significant climate change and rising sea levels. Global warming is occurring as we emit greenhouse gasses (carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide) into the atmosphere. These greenhouse gasses act as an insulator in our atmosphere trapping solar radiation. Tropical reforestation is one of the most effective methods of sequestering carbon dioxide emissions. click here for more...

This program serves to introduce students to the concepts of ecological literacy. The goal of this program is to create strong environmental leaders of tomorrow by exposing students to the complex ecological, cultural and economic issues facing the environment today. Students will aid in our community-based reforestation projects - working with farmers, local students and community leaders to restore the once-great rainforest of southern Costa Rica.
