I have dedicated my life to the protection and restoration of Costa Rican rainforests. My journey began long before the establishment of Grow Jungles in 2019, driven by my passion for preserving biodiversity and fostering sustainable development in rural areas.

Grow Jungles has led efforts to rehabilitate degraded rainforest ecosystems while empowering local communities. Grow Jungle’s approach integrates reforestation with economic opportunities for locals, creating a model that benefits both nature and people.

• Conserving over 5,000 acres of forest in Costa Rica through partnerships with private landowners.
• Documenting endangered species and creating essential wildlife corridors for biodiversity preservation.
• Constructing floating bridges over wetlands, enhancing habitat connectivity and facilitating movement for species like the newly discovered Tlalocohyla Celeste frog.

Grow Jungles’ conservation efforts have been featured in documentaries such as “Waterfall Hunters” by Meadowlarks, highlighting the delicate balance between conservation and community needs. These efforts have been showcased at esteemed film festivals like Tribeca, raising awareness of Costa Rica’s biodiversity and the importance of its preservation.
