Our main focus is on the protection and restoration of the habitat of the Great Soldier Macaw (Ara ambiguus), an emblematic and endangered species. <\/p>\n<p>We do this by producing, donating and planting important trees for its feeding and nesting sites with the participation of many volunteers.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Why was the Great Soldier&#8217;s Macaw chosen as the central species of the project?<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The Great Soldier Macaw is not only a beautiful and charismatic bird species, but also an umbrella species. By protecting its habitat, we also preserve many other animal and plant species that share the ecosystem. <\/p>\n<p>It is also a symbol of identity and pride for the communities in northern Costa Rica and has great potential to promote ecotourism.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Who is involved in this project?<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>We work as a network.

She has planted over 20,000 trees for over 10 years to feed animals and dream of a greener future for generations to come. This project honors her vision: Sowing, sustaining and teaching life.

By taking part in workshops or planting days. Support us with donations, volunteer work or spread the word about the project. And above all: make a commitment to look after the planted trees, because nature conservation is a long-term undertaking.   <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>What final message would you like to share with us?<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Our message is simple: planting a tree is planting hope. Protecting the Great Soldier Macaw protects life, water, climate and the future of our communities. This project shows that together we can restore nature and create a fairer and more sustainable world.  <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/tropica-verde.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1000009715.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Intergenerational environmental education&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Trees and feathers&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; min_height=&#8221;198.4px&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<h2><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #006b46; font-family: 'Source Serif Pro Semibold', Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 26px; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 1rem; display: block;\">Overview of the project  <\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><em>\u00c1RBOLES Y PLUMAS PARA LA ZONA NORTE (TREES AND FEATHERS FOR THE NORTHERN ZONE)<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em><\/em><em>Execution period: January 2025 &#8211; December 2025<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Location: Canton of San Carlos, Huetar Norte and Atlantic coast of Costa Rica<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Leading organization: Abuela Ecol\u00f3gica Foundation<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The project &#8220;\u00c1rboles y Plumas para la Zona Norte&#8221; (Trees and Feathers for the Northern Zone) is an initiative for the ecological restoration and protection of biodiversity in the canton of San Carlos, Costa Rica.
