Kids Saving the Rainforest
In Manuel Antonio, there are only
about 1000 mono titi’s or squirrel monkeys left in the
world. The
not-for-profit organization, Kids Saving the Rainforest, was
started by a young lady and Colegio student, Janine, at the Mono
Azul Hotel. She hosts weekly camps and projects for kids to learn
more about recycling, cleaning up the community, how to preserve
our tropical rain forest natural resources, and most importantly,
how to help save our endangered tropical rain forest species like
the Mono Titi.
Join Janine and the other kids
any time, any day, or any season, with just yourself, with your
kids, or with your organization – even in the US. Janine works
with schools and organizations all over the world to help educate
others about Costa Rica’s natural assets. So if you want to help,
or want to start a fund raising project with your school or
organization – any where in the world – contact Janine, and she
will get you started. Even $20 buys a tree in your honor to be
planted in the rain forest on protected land, and $100 buys a
simple monkey brigde high accross the Manuel Antonio Road so that
the little mono titi’s can cross the busy street on a protected
cable instead of using dangerous power lines.
Janine’s email address is
Janine@KidsSavingTheRainforest.org, and you can contact the
organization as well at
www.KidsSavingTheRainforest.org Or better yet, come and
volunteer or bring your kids to camp at the Mono Azul and help
them preserve our national jewel, our Costa Rican tropical
rainforest.
