ASANA- ASANA’s main objective is to connect all the fragments of forest between Terraba and Savegre Rivers, thus creating a natural corridor of protected lands which will have no interruptions and along which wildlife of all kinds can travel freely without the pressure of human depredation. The project is well advanced and is know locally and internationally as “Path of the Tapir Biological Corridor” It was officially recognized as the only portion of the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor that extends to the Pacific side of Central American Isthmus. That distinction has brought the Path of the Tapir Biological Corridor considerable notoriety.
ASADA de Bahia Uvita- This is the local water management company that provides water to all the homes and businesses of Bahia and Uvita.
SURF & Flor de Bahia- This is a group of sixth graders from Flor de Bahia Lower School, lead by Travis.
Tour operators- this is the association of tour operators that work out of Ballena Marine National Park.
We had a week of work, play, fun and most important relation building! Now that they know the basic, we are working on making solid project plans for each group and to see how they can work together in some areas! The areas of interest for the projects are:
ASANA: 1st project the Turtle nesting project, 2nd mapping of the corridors’ ASADAS
ASADA de Bahia Uvita: mapping of the entire water pipe system from the spring to the meters of each home.
SURF & Flor de Bahia: Mapping the community to have a clear picture of how it is composed of.
