ASANA Association

ASANA In 1987 a group was born. The founders weren’t visionaries nor were they especially conscious of the future implications of the movement they were initiating. They were just plain concerned and, in some cases, angry. With improved infrastructure such as bridges, roads, electricity, and development starting to come to Dominical the local residents had become increasingly embittered at the sight of outsiders coming in here and shooting wildlife from their cars, poisoning our rivers to harvest fresh water shrimp to be sold elsewhere, leaving large amounts of trash on our beaches and roadsides, denuding and burning our forested hillsides and thereby mudding our rivers and streams. These frustrated residents banded together to try to do something about this adverse impact to their nature rich zone. The group organized was called “Amigos de la Naturaleza de Dominical (ANADO).
