This month, ASANA celebrates its 20th anniversary. For such a small organization, we sure have accomplished a lot. Our biggest success came early – 15 years ago – when the Path of Tapir was declared a national biological corridor and formally recognized as part of the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor.
But just in 2017 alone, we have so much to celebrate! This year we:
… were finally successful getting the Savegre River Watershed declare a UNESCO biosphere reserve. This signifies incredible national and international recognition of a very important conservation and sustainable development area.
… constructed a brand new conservation center in Hacienda Barú that serves as our office, a meeting space, and a training facility to continue to support local conservation efforts, using much of the support we’ve received from Global Giving friends such as you. Unlike before, we now have a secure, long-term place to call our institutional home, thanks in great part to ASANA founder and longtime president, Jack Ewing, who provided the space for the conservation center.
… launched a major community-based program – A Plastic Free Ballena Bay – in collaboration with the Ballena National Marine Park to save our shores from pollution.
Please help us celebrate our 20th anniversary – and a spectacular 2017. Please donate today!
