Costas Verdes & BarriGuiones
Costas Verdes is a nonprofit organization founded in 2008 to conserve and restore coastal ecosystems on public lands, including protected areas, publicly owned portions of beaches, mangroves, riverbanks and wetlands.
Since Costas Verdes was founded in 2008, they have become Costa Rica's leading coastal reforestation organization. Today they have returned the coastal forest to two beaches of great national importance, Playa Hermosa and Playa Guiones - creating a real and tangible benefit in local communities. Among the benefits are: economic (more tourism), social (active participation of the community, including schools, schools, local businesses and government entities) and environmental. They have become the catalyst of the interests of the Costa Rican’s in recovering the coastal forest of our country.
