Communicationand Corporate Relations
2011
A pioneer organization,born in 1985 that dared to talk about
Sustainable Development
Now with 26 years we have
more experiencemore achievements
more visionmore desire to keep working
towards attaining a balancebetween human wellbeing
and the conservation of nature
Who are we?
We share a dream
This is the balanced country, model amongst other nations that Fundación Neotrópica
dreams for Costa Rica.
Feeling that things are well done
Witness how economic development is achieved without undermining the environment
Living in an urban or rural community and
seeing people cooperate. People that take
responsibility for their own destiny
Walking through the forests
Working with companies to mutually build beneficial relationships
This is the realitythat we face
There is an unfair distribution of the benefits
arising from the use of
natural resources.
The consequences of this
injustice affect all the world. It affects our country
and our homes.
It affects everyone.
You and me…
And furthermore … very few people decide to get actively involved in order to solve the challenges
related to economic development and environmental conservation
In Neotrópica Foundation we have a
solid proposal for this situation, but we
can’t implement it on our own
¡We need you!
Fundación Neotrópicapromotes social dialogue and community selfmanagement in conservation for the fair and equitable sharing of benefits generated by natural resources.
Rural Area On three main work sites
(Osa, Atirro and Coyolito)
and their hinterlands , which are not exentedfrom inequity in the distribution of their
natural resources.
Urban AreaSpecially with companies and schools in the upper
river basin of Río Tárcoles.
Regions
Neotrópica will provide its experience, technical strength , reliability and transparent administration. Attributes gained with the test of time.
However, we need informed and responsible citizens that contribute
with their financial resources and their talent. The solution is in everyone.
It’s in business. It’s in government. It´s in communities.
The solution is in
Everyone
It’s personal.

Why do we need “unrestricted” funds?
To accomplish our mission.
To contribute in solving the social and environmental
challenges of our country.
To comply with our obligations as a good employer.
To invest in causes that lack direct project funding
TrainingProvided to organized groups
and residents of the“Neotropical regions”.
It is also essential for businesses, schools and citizens that belong
to the upper river basin of Grande de Tárcoles river.
Technical Support:Aimed at leaders and
organized groups neighboring the CEECs, but training is provided
to groups in other regions, according to
their interest
How do we invest your donations?
To maintain our Centers of Studies and Community Empowerment
The CEECs are Neotrópica’s arms.
The Centers allow us to have community outreach within the community and not as a foreigner.

How do we invest your donations?
Why are our Partners so important to us?
They allow us to move quicklyYou enable us to maintain a
“first-aid kit” that can be used, in environmental emergencies
when and were needed.
You allow us to commit with long-term efforts
Environmental solutions require efforts that cantake years. Before Neotrópica engages in long-terminitiatives, such as environmental educationprograms in urban schools we need to be assuredthat these efforts can be completed.
