Make a Difference
You want to do something special and in a personal way
to support the rainforests of the Osa Peninsula - that's good!
Here are a few suggestions of how you can support Proyecto Campanario's efforts
to keep the present rainforest in the Osa Peninsula just as it is.
Here's where you can make a difference! And make a difference right now!!
1) Visit Campanario:
This is first and foremost. You, your friends, fellow students, office
colleagues, should get to know what a rainforest is all about.
Campanario can handle individual visitors or groups up to 40 persons
for courses, corporate retreats, family reunions, etc. Give it some
thought. You'll have a wonderful vacation and learn a great deal in the
process. You'll get muddy, sweaty, wet, tired, but will see things too
precious to lose. Click here for reservations.
Come see for yourself! Don't just believe this page and web site, come and verify all this for yourself. We guarantee you'll be inspired!!
2) Donate your time as an intern:Click here for Internship Program.
3) Donate materials and equipment:
There are many needs. If you are coming for a visit, perhaps you could
bring something with you. Or perhaps you could ship something to an
address in the USA where someone coming this way could pick up the
item.
Right now we are in need of:
|  |
- Your favorite biology and ecology technical books for the Campanario library.
- Binoculars and spotting scope.
- Night vision binoculars and scope
- Climbing harnesses, helmets, and gear to get into tree platforms (this equipment will need to be new for safety).
- Good power tools - because the salt air and humidity have ruined most of what we have.
- Butterfly nets and mist nets - for capturing and identifying insects and bats.
- Dissecting microscopes - for continual research.
- Small portable backpack gasoline powered generator - to use away from usual power sources.
- Digital movie camera - for filming wildlife.
- Motion sensitive cameras to monitor wildlife migrations in the forest.
4) Donate your funds:
You should be happy to know that it is through your donations that
Campanario can continue its work and operate our many programs. We
maintain a painfully low administrative overhead, which means your
donation goes to the current projects.
1. Expansion of the biologically protected area of the Osa Peninsula
2. Providing educational resources to the local area school children
3. Subsidizing environmental education trips for local school children
4. Subsidizing tropical research
5. Protecting and improving our watershed and water supply
6. Monitoring migrations of large mammals in buffer zones outside of Corcovado National Park
7. Developing an Osa Trails Project to include neighboring farmers in the protection of the forests
8. Filming manakin leks
