community initiatives
REFORESTATION
Our ongoing reforestation program will enable us to reforest the lower basin of the Yasica river with mangroves as well as a diversity of botanical species that made up the original vegetation of the La Boca area including endemic flora in danger of extinction. Also, a number of native and endemic species that are either endangered or locally extinct will be released and monitored in the vicinity of the project.
OCEAN FUTURES
Through our alliance with Jean-Michel Cousteau's Ocean Futures Society Foundation and its Ambassadors of the Environment program we will raise awareness about the importance of respecting the planet through education and participatory activities that give our guests the opportunity to learn about the diverse ecosystems and local traditions.
CORAL RESTORATION
In partnership with the coral restoration program of Fundación Ecológica Magua, coral nurseries will be developed to revive a selected group of coral reefs in the area, while cooperating with the protection and restoration of associated species.
REDUCING OUR FOOTPRINT
We have designed a program to reduce water consumption, waste generation and energy intensity at our property. This includes make use of solar power, wastewater treatment and reuse, no single-use plastic policy and no motor vehicle within the hotel, waste management and education for the community, amongst other initiatives
SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE
The aim of this program is to improve farmers’ livelihoods and increase the productivity of their land, by teaching them sustainable organic agriculture practices and creating model farms from which to purchase organic products that will also allow us to create a farm to table experience for our guests.
