Working with people to protect nature
Eco tourism is fundamental for the protection of the natural resources in the Osa Peninsula, it provides an income to communities that otherwise would need the natural resources to make a living. The Corcovado Foundation has been helping these businesses to diminish their impact on the environment
Osa’s clear importance in biodiversity and its increasing popularity as a nature tourism destination make it a critical site for replication of the sustainable tourism project. Hotels, produce considerable amounts of different sorts of waste: solid, liquid, semi liquid and even gases. Regardless of the kind of waste, hotels have major responsibilities to undertake actions in the solid waste management.
Since 2003, Corcovado Foundation has been dedicated to promote a more responsible relationship between businesses and nature. By providing motivation talks and workshops, our organization has created awareness and trained more than 350 people from different hotels in the Osa.
More than 10 hotel companies are now implementing sustainable practices in their operations in areas such as Drake Bay, Golfito, Puerto Jiménez, Dominical and the Central Pacific.
