Corcovado Foundation operates a regenerative tourism Bio Hostel & Environmental Center on the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica. Their ecosystem restoration, regenerative agriculture, holistic cattle farming and environmental education activities take place throughout the Drake Bay area, which includes small towns like Los Angeles, Caletas, Los Planes, El Progreso, and Agujitas. El Progreso is much smaller and more remote than the main tourist area. Here you will find incredible biodiversity in flora and fauna and a unique tranquility. Most people in El Progreso are either unemployed or find jobs in nearby towns. With few options for income, many end up cutting down trees to sell for wood or open space for cattle and monocultures to survive. The hostel is one of two employers in the area. Before the arrival of conservation organisations to the Osa Peninsula, logging, hunting, mining, and sea turtle egg poaching were everyday activities in this area. For this reason, the populations of some animals and plants have drastically decreased. Corcovado Foundation envisions an operation that fights climate change, protects endangered species and promotes community development through regenerative activities.
