Preserving this 14 ha. primary tropical forest will save the Monge’s who own it, and preserve the forest habitat resident wildlife depend on in this vital forest corridor on the shores of Lake Arenal
What are your CO2 emissions each year? Do you know? The Monge’s have conserved this 14 ha. rain forest for decades. Mariano Monge, owner of the forest, had 3 sons with his wife Alba. Josue, the eldest died last year due to a degenerative disease, the middle son was born with Down’s syndrome and a serious heart defect. They have lived in the village of San Luis all of their lives This forest is removing 210 metric tons of CO2/year from the Earth’s atmosphere. Offset your CO2 helping this family.
Payments for environmental services to the Monge’s for the habitat and CO2 sequestration saves 14 ha. of rainforest from being sold and developed, the habitat necessary for the resident wildlife and the resources needed by this family.
Preserving the Monge’s forest ensures habitat for the resident wildlife, absorbs over 210 metric tons of CO2 annually and gives this family the opportunity to improve the quality of their lives.
