Talamanca Initiative wins Equator Prize
At the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, Talamanca Initiative was awarded the Equator Prize for being the world’s most outstanding example of a community based sustainable development initiative associated with a World Heritage Site.
Talamanca Adventures operate “eco-cultural” tours in the Talamanca Biological Corridor of south-eastern Caribbean Costa Rica and northern Panama. This area is recognised by major conservation groups as one of the most biologically rich places on earth. 4% of the world’s biodiversity is contained within its tropical rainforest and coral reefs. The area also possesses a mix of cultures, including Afro-Caribbean; local indigenous, and mixed race campesinos.
The tours directly benefit local organizations and communities as well as actively contributing to biodiversity protection, social equality and improved quality of life for current and future generations. They not only highlight the natural beauty, but also immerse the visitor in the social, cultural and economic context of this area’s struggle for sustainable development.
