Maderas Rainforest Conservancy information


The Maderas Rainforest Conservancy is a nonprofit organization which was established to promote the conservation, protection, and management of Mesoamerican forests and animal and plant biodiversity through education, reforestation, preservation, and by working with local communities, and national and international institutions and universities.

Increases in real estate sales, irresponsible tourism, live animal capture for the pet trade, and agricultural deforestation have left the species and ecosystems of Mesoamerican forests extremely vulnerable. The Maderas Rainforest Conservancy exists to combat these growing concerns.[1]

The Maderas Rainforest Conservancy grew out of two field school locations offering classes in rainforest ecology, primatology, art workshops, and other classes relevant to the area: Ometepe, Nicaragua and La Suerte, Costa Rica. Rampant deforestation of these areas prompted the creation of a nonprofit organization geared to protecting and reforesting these areas.[2]
