Unfortunately, forest is still disappearing to make room for arable land and plantations, thus diminishing habitat for all those plants and animals. High time for change!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is why, together with Adopt Rain Forest Foundation and local population, Trees for All will plant <strong>25,000 trees<\/strong> in Costa Rica. This is going to be done on 25 hectares of meadow land which used to be splendid tropical rain Forest. we are connecting the new forest with surrounding forest land and create an unbroken natural habitat for all these animals. The project provides work and income for eight local families into the bargain. Will you take part in this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow

We plant trees on 25 hectares of meadowland, situated exactly between Adopt Rain Forest Foundation\u2019s nature reserve and Barbilla National Park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Adopt Rain Forest Foundation\u2019s reserve only, hundreds of species of birds and butterflies occur. Moreover, it is a home for extraordinary animals, such as jaguarundi, ocelot, puma, silky anteater and strawberry poison frog. But small-scale agriculture and cattle farming have caused large sections of rain forest to disappear. Because of this, Barbilla National Park has become <strong>isolated <\/strong>from other nature reserves in northern and western Costa Rica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In places where forest has been felled, large<strong> open spaces<\/strong> have come into being. Without shelter from trees, animals do not feel safe and prefer to avoid these places. The habitat for these animals gets fragmented and is simply too small, making it difficult for them to find mates and to breed. Several species are included in the Red List of endangered animals, such as Buffon\u2019s macaw. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By means of this project we make sure that the region becomes <strong>one large uninterrupted forest<\/strong> again. The new forest will also procure better water management, sound soil and more CO2 storage in the area. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12\">    <section class=\"wp-acf-block block-slider \">\n\n        <div class=\"slider\">\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Adopteer-Regenwoud-Costa-Rica-toekan-scaled-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"costa-rica-toekan-adopteer-regenwoud\" title=\"Adopteer Regenwoud -
