sobre la organización

We are a nonprofit organization fighting to protect Costa Rica´s natural heritage for future generations by uplifting communities through education and engagement

Conoce a tu anfitrión(a)

The Corcovado Foundation was established in 1996 by concerned neighbors of Corcovado National Park in Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula. Our founding project involved working with ACOSA to establish patrols and rangers stations in the biodiverse area surrounding the national park, greatly reducing illegal hunting and logging. We are a hands-on, down to earth local leader in conservation, with an excellent reputation for our volunteering programs and our commitment to a practical and community led approach to environmental protection.

The Corcovado Foundation currently has four main areas of work in the Osa Peninsula: -Sea Turtle Conservation – Environmental Education – Sustainable Tourism – Community Development.

We work on the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica, that is one of the most biologically intense places on earth. The area contains 25-30 different eco-systems and is home to a staggering variety of wildlife and plant life, many of which are endangered. It has one of the most significant populations of large endangered mammals in Central America, including predators

such as Jaguars and Pumas and is also home to many endemic species of birds and trees. The harpy eagle, believed to be locally extinct since 1989, was discovered in small numbers in Corcovado National Park and there are important calving sites for humpback whales in the waters surrounding Caño Island and Gulfo Dulce.

In short, The Osa Peninsula represents one of the world’s most important sources for future knowledge about rainforest ecosystems and the conservation of biological diversity on earth.

2023 at Corcovado Eco Community Development

My time in the Biohostel, Corcovado Foundation was nice. People have been really nice and the food was amazing.

Wonderful experience helping out turtle conservation I very much enjoyed my volunteer experience, particularly patrolling the beach at night. I also liked participating in the exhumations and beach cleanup. I liked learning about turtle conservation and what changes need to take place to ensure ...
I joined this project with the expectation of learning a lot and getting some hands on practical field experience in something that I am very passionate about, but I got out so much more than that. The 12 weeks that I spent on Rincon with all the volunteers that came through and the amazing ...
