Environmental volunteerism in Peru and Costa Rica

Overview

Environmental volunteer initiatives have been active in Peru and Costa Rica, focusing on reforestation and conservation efforts.

In Peru, volunteers in Arequipa have been working to reforest Andean slopes with queñua trees to protect the Quilca-Chili basin and improve aquifer recharge. Meanwhile, in Costa Rica, reforestation efforts have included planting various species at the La Lima Business Park and near Los Quetzales National Park to enhance forest cover and ecosystem connectivity.

Additional conservation activities in Costa Rica involve recycling plastic bottle caps to create accessible infrastructure, such as walkways and sensory decks, for visitors with disabilities at Juan Castro Blanco National Park.
