Costa Rica
PACIFIC Foundation
It is an innovative regional financing platform created in 2017 that seeks to ensure the sustainable management of the Eastern Tropical Pacific (ETP). It is composed of four founding Environmental Funds: Fondo Patrimonio Natural, Fondo Acción, Fundación Natura, and Asociación Costa Rica por Siempre. Together, these founding funds seek to mobilize financial resources for the implementation of conservation actions that contribute to the integrated and sustainable management of marine and coastal ecosystems, to ensure their reasonable use and the economic and social well-being of the people of the region. To achieve its goals, PACIFICO works in partnership with the Tropical Eastern Pacific Marine Corridor (TEPC), governments, NGOs and other allies to develop regional strategic lines and identify the most important investments for the improvement of conservation and sustainable development actions in the ETP.
