About us
Our mission statement
TROPICA VERDE e.V. is committed to the conservation of tropical habitats, the preservation of biological diversity and the protection of endangered species. Specific conservation projects are carried out in Costa Rica and accompanied by educational measures both in Costa Rica and in Germany. The aim of the educational work is to raise awareness for the sustainable protection of the environment and biodiversity among the population and especially among children. The successful implementation of our projects and educational work is based on long-term, trusting and transparent cooperation with local stakeholders on the ground.
Tropica Verde’s work is based on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs for short) of the United Nations. The goals serve to ensure sustainable development on an economic, ecological and social level worldwide. They came into force in 2016 and have a term of 15 years – i.e. until 2030.
Tropica Verde is pursuing the achievement of four core SDGs with its projects:
- SDG 12: Sustainable consumption and production
- SDG 13: Climate action
- SDG 14: Life below water
- SDG 15: Life on land
Our work and every project is always based on SDG 4: Quality education.
