DONATE

Costa Rica is proving critical habitats to some of the world's most endangered wildlife species. We know that over 25% of the country is covered with forest and jungle and provides protection to a wide-range of species whose habitat is fast disappearing from across the world. Even today we are still not understand many of these animals and time is running out for many of them. A gift to this project helps our projects around Costa Rica continue to run life changing research for the Jaguars.

Challenge

Jaguars are a threatened species along with many other amazing wildlife that lives in the Costa Rican rainforest. Today we still are unaware of these animals and this is very dangerous as they are heading for extinction. It is important for this project to tackle this issue through two projects running simultaneously and that is why we support our team of researchers out daily collecting critical data as well as our education team working in the community to build awareness and engagement.

Long-Term Impact

Through research and education we can help promote these amazing animals to the locals and help them take ownership in ensuring they are protected. This will not only impact our environment but will also create local income through regular tourism to visit these animals.
