Causes: Animals, Wildlife Preservation & Protection
Mission: Founded in 2005, Paso Pacífico's mission is to restore and protect the biodiversity and ecosystems of Central America’s Pacific Slope by partnering with local landowners, communities, and organizations to promote conservation.
Results: Paso Pacifico envisions a Central America across which well-managed conservation areas are connected by viable biological corridors that span from ridge to reef, including restored tropical dry forests and marineprotected areas. Through programs informed by the most cutting-edge conservation science and implemented in close cooperation with local communities, Paso Pacifico is making leaps for the biodiversity and ecosystems of the region. By restoring forests and connecting habitat from land to sea, we are actively combating climate change and saving important species like endangered sea turtles, spider monkeys, and yellow-naped Amazon parrots. In working towards its vision, Paso Pacifico helps communities adopt more sustainable livelihoods in ecotourism, fisheries, agriculture, and natural resource management; empowers women and children as environmental leaders; and develops strong, collaborative relationships with private landowners and the private sector. With our holistic, forward-thinking approach, Paso Pacifico is making connections for conservation.
Target demographics: rural communities, small farmers and landowners, women, and children
Direct beneficiaries per year: 250,000 native trees planted that will sequester 150,000 tons of carbon over the next 40 years
Geographic areas served: Nicaragua, El Salvador
Programs: environmental education, endangered species monitoring and research, forest restoration and reforestation, private land conservation, and community outreach. Featured projects include our Junior Rangers, Saving Sea Turtles, and InvestEGGator Sea Turtle Eggs. For more information on these projects and more, visit: http://pasopacifico. org/
