| In the
Guanacaste region, Greening Paraiso is a catalyst and advocate
for conserving land and water supplies to ensure a healthy
environment and creating businesses to ensure economic vitality.
As we do our work, we are creating a model of watershed restoration
to benefit communities worldwide. |

- We will restore the 25,000-acre Andomojo watershed
to environmental health by directly or cooperatively transitioning
several thousand acres to productive and sustainable forestry,
agriculture and land development. In the remaining 20,000+
acres we will work with local farmers, timber companies,
builders and officials to establish Conservation Development
and Enterprise practices throughout the entire area.
- We will restore the Andomojo River to a year round
flow, improving the health of the underlying aquifer,
restoring a key mangrove estuary, and improving forest
and habitat health.
- We will initiate and promote conservation development
and socially responsible enterprise to create benefit
for the local communities.
- We will share freely our knowledge so that other endangered
watersheds around the region and the world benefit from
the “greening” model.
- We will create the first watershed based Plan Regulador,
a regional land use plan that allows for development while
considering the health and limits of water supplies as
well as other environmental objectives.
