Note from Paso Pac\u00edfico: In late 2023, for the first time in several years, we were able to host a group of friends in Central America and show them some of the impact of their support! Andrew Seligman helped plan and then attended the donor trip. <\/em>We are deeply grateful for Andrew\u2019s help. Thank you also to everyone who participated in this trip and has supported any part of our work for nature and communities.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n In late October of 2023, a group of longtime Paso Pac\u00edfico supporters became the first donor group to visit our nascent projects in El Salvador.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Upon arrival, we immediately saw signs of the Miss Universe pageant that would be held in the country just days later. Promotion of the pageant was visible most everywhere, but what we soon realized was that the country didn\u2019t need a pageant or even Miss Universe, because its natural beauty is already prize-winning and just needs our investments to secure the biodiversity that graces it.<\/p>\n\n\n\nA Global Beauty Pageant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
