Since its inception Rainforest Biodiversity Group’s conservation efforts have been supported through its volunteer program. Pioneer projects have included assisting local landowners with the buying and planting of thousands of trees in northeast Costa Rica from 2001 to 2003.
Volunteers also worked to increase the use and understanding of organic agriculture, permaculture and agroforestry through the development of experimental organic gardens and orchards on local farms.
Today volunteers are still working with local landowners in Costa Rica, assisting them in developing their land for eco-tourism. The landowners we work with are the owners of the private reserves within the Costa Rican Bird Route. These newly created reserves are the remote sites of the route and are at varying stages of development as eco-tourism sites.
