Conservation League
The Monteverde Conservation League (MCL)
is a non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation
of the tropical forest. Our mission is to Conserve, Preserve,
and Rehabilitate Tropical Ecosystems and their Biodiversity.
The Monteverde Conservation League (MCL)
is a non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation
of the tropical forest. Our mission is to Conserve, Preserve,
and Rehabilitate Tropical Ecosystems and their Biodiversity.
Founded in 1986 in Monteverde, the MCL
began a land purchase campaign to conserve the tropical
forest. Currently, our organization has achieved the formation
of the largest private reserve in Costa Rica: The Children's
Eternal Rain Forest (CERF). This has been possible thanks
to the support of children, adults, schools and organizations
around the world.
At the organization level, the MCL has
70 active members who are involved in an Annual
Meeting. The composition of the members as to nationalities,
background and philosophy is diverse, but all with the common
goal to conserve the forest.
At the administrative level, the MCL has
three priority areas: Protection and Management, Environment
and Human Development, and Research and Applied Technology.
The MCL has carried out various projects
in the area of influence and within CERF. Through the reforestation
program, "Forest in Farms" project and the "Guacimal
Watershed" project we have planted nearly 600,000 trees
as windbreaks, watershed restoration and forest connection
in the Pacific slope. On the other hand, we have planted
over 100,000 trees in the Atlantic slope along forest belts
and forest connections. Research projects on endangered
species are being carried out within CERF.
