ASANA

Conserving nature. Preserving life

ASANA means Asociación Amigos de la Naturaleza del Pacífico Central y Sur (Friends of Nature of the Central and Southern Pacific Coast), Costa Rica.

We work in the conservation field implementing and supporting programs to preserve and restore nature. We aim to work with local communities to empower them and raise awareness on the most pressing issues, organize local management councils, explore community-based sustainable development alternatives, and conserve flora, fauna, habitats and ecological processes of the Path of the Tapir and its associated natural areas.

ASANA is an officially registered Costa Rican non-governmental organization (NGO) founded in 1998. We are a purely local conservation organization and our mission is to restore and protect the natural areas in and around the Path of the Tapir Biological Corridor in order to increase the biodiversity and connectivity to the point where big mammals such us the tapir and the jaguar are established permanently.
