With transparency.
The tropical rainforest is one of the most complex and species-rich ecosystems on earth. Rainforests stabilize the climate and regulate the global water balance. They are the source of food, medicine, ideas and raw materials that have become an integral part of our lives today. They are the basis of existence and home to millions of people.
TROPICA VERDE has been committed to preserving the tropical rainforests in Costa Rica since 1989 and thus makes a direct contribution to climate protection. Protecting the rainforest is a joint task: with donations and membership fees, the association supports specific nature and species conservation projects in Costa Rica in close cooperation with the local people. TROPICA VERDE’s rainforest projects are always planned and implemented in close cooperation with local project partners. In addition, TROPICA VERDE promotes environmental education in the sense of Education for Sustainable Development in Germany. Through lectures, publications and exhibitions, the association raises awareness of the causes and global consequences of deforestation of the rainforest and thus the destruction of tropical habitats and provides recommendations for action for sustainable development.
We are delighted that you would like to find out more about our work.
For us, protecting tropical rainforests means preserving living diversity and improving local living conditions.

OUR GOALS
Preserving living diversity, improving living conditions and promoting sustainability
Tropica Verde is valued by its members above all for its many years of experience in environmental protection, the authenticity of its partnerships and activities, its focus on Costa Rica and its transparency. Supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is a central concern for us in all rainforest projects.
OUR PROJECTS
Conservation of valuable natural habitats through the establishment and management of protected areas.
Our projects are committed to various goals: preserving biodiversity and protecting endangered species in the tropical rainforest, restoring near-natural ecosystems through reforestation and natural regeneration or promoting sustainable utilization concepts. Another important component is environmental education in the sense of ESD (Education for Sustainable Development) and public relations work to raise awareness of relevant issues such as deforestation of the rainforest.
OUR SUCCESSES
Ongoing rainforest projects with local partners
Our rainforest projects are brought to us and implemented exclusively by local partners. We have been working with many organizations for over 30 years. However, we also develop new collaborations to protect the tropical rainforest – depending on what is needed for local environmental and climate protection and the local population. We are all united by a common goal: to protect the rainforest!
