Our foundation develops a program for the restoration of ecosystems and conservation of biodiversity in the northern part of El Salvador. This program aims to recover degraded areas and protect the tropical forests. In addition, it incorporates aspects of research for the conservation of biodiversity. This is intended to contribute to the global goals of restoration and conservation of biodiversity, thus reducing the effects of climate change and generating human well-being, providing solutions based on science and based on nature.
Our foundation develops a marine mammal conservation program within the Central American region, with an emphasis on the Salvadoran coasts. This program aims to generate scientific information on aspects of ecology and distribution of the different species of marine mammals that visit the coasts of El Salvador. In this way, tools that promote the conservation of species and ecosystems are strengthened, also promoting environmental education and sustainable tourism initiatives.
Our foundation develops the first research grant program for young researchers in El Salvador. This program aims to support students and early researchers who work with issues related to current conservation problems in the country and the Central American region. Start: March 1, 2021, Close: May 15, 2021. Read the new indications for COVID-19.

Our foundation develops a volunteer program that offers opportunities to contribute to our research and conservation efforts in El Salvador. Within this program, you can develop short stays for research, community work, educational work, or cultural exchange. Each stay or volunteer is personal, so we request to make direct contact with us and evaluate or design your participation in our activities. We also offer support in research programs in tropical forests and the Pacific coastal zone.
