To recover and protect Costa Rica 's forests and biodiversity!

The Living Forest is another innovative initiative the Costa Rican government offers you to help recover and protect the country's forests and all the wealth they hold, through the Payment for Environmental Services (PES) .
Costa Rica is one of the few countries in the world which has been able to slow down the deforestation rate and recover its forest cover. Help us to continue this enormous effort through the Living Forest initiative.

The Ministry of Atmosphere and Energía (MINAE) by means of the Program of Payment of Environmental Services that develops the National Bottom of Financiamiento Forestal (FONAFIFO) gives faith that the resources contributed by this means will be invested according to the interest of the donor.

All they have to do is purchase Certificates for Environmental Services (CES) for a specific amount or make a voluntary donation for the amount they choose .
