Elevator Pitch
A nature-based conservation and regenerative design initiative in Sarapiquí, Costa Rica. We restore biodiversity through habitat protection, native species conservation, regenerative agroforestry, and circular design using natural fibers & textile waste.
Climate Problem
Deforestation, biodiversity loss, textile waste, and intensive pineapple monoculture threaten Sarapiquí’s ecosystems. Restoring regenerative landscapes supports biodiversity, climate resilience, and carbon sequestration.
Solution
We restore habitat through regenerative agroforestry, native species conservation, ecological education, and circular products made with natural dyes, local fibers, and reclaimed textile materials.
Revenue Model
Revenue will come from workshops, eco-tourism experiences, regenerative design products, conservation activities, grants, and biodiversity-focused partnerships.
Target Market
Environmentally conscious consumers, eco-tourists, educational institutions, regenerative design audiences, and organizations seeking biodiversity-focused and circular solutions.
Social Impact
Indigenous Peoples, People Living in Extreme Poverty, Women
Demand Evidence
Global demand for ecotourism and regenerative experiences is rapidly growing, with the ecotourism market projected to reach USD 665B by 2030 (Grand View Research). Costa Rica’s ICT also identifies sustainability as a key tourism driver.
