Scientific research shows that protecting large, connected landscapes is one of the most effective ways to safeguard biodiversity and maintain the ecological processes that sustain life. And privately protected areas are among the most effective ways for civil societies get involved in the climate and biodiversity crises.
The Cerúlea Environmental Association successfully acquired the first 81 hectares of forest in Guayacán de Siquirres in February 2026, thanks to the commitment of donors to the cause and the funding secured by the team.
This was the origin of the Cerúlea Nature Reseve, the seed of what we envision as a long-term wildlife reserve.
The $250,000 raised in this campaign will be used to repay a loan that allowed us to act quickly to purchase the current property of the reserve, as well as to acquire an additional neighboring 57-hectare property.
From an environmental perspective, expanding the protected area would mean larger and more connected habitats that support greater species diversity, allow wildlife to move across the landscape, and make ecosystems more resilient in the face of climate change.
From a human perspective, it means something just as powerful. It means that collective efforts of a united global community can be incredibly powerful to protect our most valuable treasure.

Cerúlea Environmental Association is a Costa Rican conservation organization founded in 2025 by ten citizens united by a single conviction: that conservation powered by passion — and grounded in rigorous science — can change the fate of entire landscapes.
Our roots run deeper than our founding date. Since 2021, our team has been building the Corredor Azul program: a community-based conservation effort that combines native tree nurseries, environmental education, and field research across the Caribbean foothills of Limón. We have planted over 6,000 native trees. We have worked with over 100 students in local schools. We have documented Cerulean Warbler migration at Cerúlea Nature Reserve with a level of detail unprecedented in Costa Rica.
We are a lean, passionate team. Every dollar you give goes directly to conservation — to land, to trees, to science, and to the next generation of Costa Rican conservationists.
Land purchase and legal transfer costs, securing the parcel under Cerúlea's stewardship in perpetuity.
Establish reserve infrastructure to support the native tree nursery, research station, and environmental education program on the property.
Ongoing monitoring and management costs to ensure the forest continues its recovery and that the wildlife it supports is protected long-term.
This campaign is urgent because the land's future is uncertain with every passing month. The longer we wait, the greater the risk that timber is felled, a deal is struck, and the forest is lost.
International donors like you make this possible. You understand that biodiversity doesn't recognize political borders. The Cerulean Warbler that nests in your backyard forest passes through this mountains in Guayacán. The jaguar you’ve seen padding through rainforests in wildlife documentaries prowls this same forest. Your gift connects you directly to the wild heart of the Americas.
To make this campaign possible we have partnered with Conservation Science Global (CSG), a USA 501c(3) nonprofit organization.
Help us protect it — permanently, urgently, together.
