Happy New Year! Feliz Ano Nuevo! from Titi Conservation Alliance
We would like to again sincerely thank everyone who supported The Titi Conservation Alliance Annual Online Auction in November. We were so fortunate to have many generous donors and buyers and truly appreciate the support. Proceeds from the auction will be earmarked to strengthen our Environmental Education program that has provided free environmental education to 4th and 5th graders in our area since 2003.
Highlights 2016
The Alliance is proud to report that with close to 3,000 trees planted this year, we surpassed our goal of 70,000 total trees planted since our founding 15 years ago. We are so grateful to the landowners who participated with us in 2016-Sr. Carlos Mora and family in Pocares, the Gamboa family and Lic Manuel Solano and the Hogar de Ancianos in Naranjito, and the Gannon family in Anita. We now have reached a great milestone with over 40 landowners who have collaborated with our habitat reforestation program in the Naranjo River Biological Corridor..
Titi Conservation Alliance continued to grow this year, with the addition of several new members-Mid World Costa Rica Adventure Tours, Capris S.A., and 2 Costa Rica Real Estate became members and we urge you to support their businesses. Our new website at www.monotiti.org came on line in early May along with enhanced social media presence for the organization and its members. We also established new alliances with St Judes School in Lindora Santa Ana, and Best Adventure Travel, ground operator for Road Scholar travel groups to Costa Rica.
Moving Forward in 2017!
We look forward to building on the progress made in 2016, with our focus on strengthening our environmental education programs in 2017. These programs will not only continue to reach out to area school children, but also to young adults and the employees of our participating members with new and exciting workshops on topics such as Carbon neutrality and climate change, wildlife conservation and biodiversity issues. If you would like to participate in these new initiatives, we would welcome you to become members of the Alliance this year.
We wish you a prosperous and rewarding 2017!
