Our purpose is to build wildlife corridors that protect biodiversity\u00a0and connect people to their land and ocean.<\/p>\n

Our mission is to restore and protect the Pacific Slope ecosystems of Mesoamerica. These habitats include the endangered dry tropical forest, mangrove wetlands, and eastern Pacific coral reefs. By strengthening the Paso del Istmo and other corridors across a region-wide network, we will reconnect people and wildlife across western Mesoamerica. Our innovative approach protects biodiversity where people already live. By working with local communities, landowners, and partner organizations, we restore and protect the habitats that form building blocks for wildlife corridors.<\/p>\n

Our Approach<\/h2>\n

Our approach is integrative, iterative, and community-based. By working with local communities, landowners, and partner organizations, we are restoring and protecting the habitats that form building blocks for wildlife corridors.<\/p>\n

We choose and implement projects based on an iterative process.<\/p>\n
