FUNDECOR

Moisés owns a business that uses first and second quality solid wood for cargo transportation. He is part of SINERGIA - FUNDECOR. By working with wood from renewable sources, his business captures carbon for much longer, encourages a green economy that is supplied by forestry plantations and comes from oxygen-generating trees. It also avoids the use of other materials such as plastic and makes the most of the various qualities of wood, generating less waste that normally ends up being burned as fuel in industrial processes. FUNDECOR supported his project and gave it the financial boost he needed. The seed capital enhanced the growth of the business, supplying it with necessary resources, tools, equipment and infrastructure. #VoicesfromtheForests #FUNDECOR #33rdanniversary #innovativesolutions #partnerships #sustainabledevelopment #sustainability #sustainability #landscapedevelopment #woodinnovationandbusiness #ecologicalandhumanresilience #CostaRica

#InternationalFieldtrips FUNDECOR Óscar Valverde is a professor at Florida International University and brought students from different countries to Costa Rica as part of the Tropical Botany course. He indicates that the students are very happy with the experience and thanks FUNDECOR for making it possible to develop this experience from the forest and with the people through its International Fieldtrips program. He believes that this is one of the experiences that will mark the lives of the students forever. “Congratulate them for their anniversary, I am Costa Rican, so I´ve been known the institution for a long time, and I think they have been doing a wonderful job trying to look for multiple options to maintain the forest and make people and communities integrate with the use of the resources they have around them”. And he adds: “So, our idea with this class has been to try to bring information from the national park, but also from the patches of forest that are around the national park, and we are trying to see the value of conserving those extra areas of forest and how they contribute to improving the park and especially helping to restore some degraded areas within the park”.

Clara Vignoli, from the National Institute of Amazonian Research, participated in a Tropical Botany course developed by Florida International University (FIU) and FUNDECOR. What she liked most was the connection of people with nature, understanding the history of Costa Rica and how we have advanced in doubling the forest cover, and how rich and diverse the forest fragments are. She highlights the magnitude of the trees, and that this is the result of decisions people made in the past to leave some of the forestry on the farm for the animals and nature. “We are also animals and we are part of the biodiversity and it is very important to understand how it is used, because these footprints are going to impact the future, by the dispersion of species.” Fundecor Educational Tours More information: edambiental@fundecor.org #FUNDECOR #33rdanniversary #innovativesolutions #partnerships #sustainabledevelopment #sustainability #landscapedevelopment #woodinnovationandbusiness #ecologicalandhumanresilience #CostaRica #educationaltours

Cristian has an enterprise in Cariari, Costa Rica. He attends visitors to his integral farm and shows them the culture and sustainable production methods.  “In our farm we have reduced the use of agrochemicals, changing it for sustainable practices and we try that our visitors take this knowledge with them so that we generate a balance,” he says.  He is part of SINERGIA- FUNDECOR and with the non-refundable resources obtained he was able to strengthen different areas of his farm with infrastructure and equipment, which he says has been a great help. And he adds: “thanks to SINERGIA-FUNDECOR our business has been able to grow in different areas to achieve our objectives”. Thanks to Cristian for being an example in #sustainableproduction!

#VoicesfromtheFORESTS Christopher Baraloto is a professor at Florida International University, and he made one of his students’ fieldtrips with us. It is biodiversity science integrated itself with management and conservation across the landscape in this communities. “It is a very unique program and collaboration that we have” “Because not only how the students conducting the typical type of biodiversity field course that you may find elsewhere, but they are really inserting themselves in communities that are important for conservation across the landscape, and they are learning more getting to know the people in those communities and sharing the experiences with them” “Happy anniversary to FUNDECOR, we are very pleased and honor to be partners with you and we look forward to celebrating the next anniversaries with you also” #FUNDECOR #33rdAnniversary #innovativesolutions #partnerships #sustainabledevelopments #sustainability #landscapedevelopment #woodinnovationandbusiness #ecologicalandhumanresilience #CostaRica #FUNDECORgiraseducativas

We celebrate with you our 33rd Anniversary! #FUNDECOR, innovative solutions since 1991.

Mariano Esquivel and Marjorie Jiménez, of Arakari Environmental Project, started their ecotourism and conservation project in Sarapiquí, through technical support and seed capital funds from FUNDECOR-SINERGIA.   They indicate that, thanks to the application of technology, they can obtain information about the different ecosystems in the Tropical Rainforest, and this allows them to influence people's awareness about environmental conservation.   Thanks to Mariano and Marjorie for their work and dedication to conservation!   FUNDECOR-SINERGIA is the operating agency for non-reimbursable funds from the @Sistema de Banca para el Desarrollo.   #innovativesolutions #partnerships #sustainabledevelopment #sustainability #landscapedevelopment #woodinnovationandbusiness #ecologicalandhumanresilience #CostaRica #FUNDECORSINERGIA #SINERGIA

Small-scale producers - who are the majority of receptors of the Payment for Environmental Services Program (PES) - are Guardians of the Forests. The modification to the PES Program decree exacerbates the risk matrix of the forest resource, as it detracts from the value of the forest, making it less competitive with alternative land uses such as cattle farming or pineapple, activities that add pressure to the forests. The forestry regency provides the necessary legal security to be able to internationally market environmental or ecosystem services, something essential in the future considering the budgetary restrictions that the program will have as it depends mostly on the hydrocarbon tax.
