Context
Costa Rica's Osa Peninsula is one of the most biologically rich places on Earth, home to approximately 2.5% of the world's biodiversity despite covering less than 0.001% of the planet's land surface.
Despite living alongside extraordinary natural heritage, many children in the region's remote rural communities have limited access to high-quality environmental education and meaningful extracurricular opportunities. At the same time, increasing pressures such as habitat loss, pollution, climate change, and unsustainable resource use continue to threaten the ecosystems on which local communities depend.
Protecting the Osa Peninsula requires more than safeguarding protected areas; it requires empowering the next generation to understand, value, and actively care for their natural environment.
