Own your piece of conservation in a Costa Rican biological corridor
The Nambi Sanctuary Foundation is a Web3-native environmental NGO enabling digital ownership of the biodiversity-rich Nambi Sanctuary; a 288-hectare Costa Rican biological corridor, located at the mouth of the Grande de Tárcoles River in Garabito, Puntarenas Province.
A one-of-its-kind jewel of Costa Rican biodiversity
The Nambi Sanctuary hosts the closest mangrove ecosystem to the Costa Rican capital of San José. The area is one of the richest in the country, home to a large amount of wildlife including 4 of the 5 species of mangroves in the country, as well as scarlet and green macaws, parakeets, hawks, ospreys, kingfishers, blue and green herons, basilisk-type lizards, crabs, white-face & howler monkeys, and a population of clams and oysters that play a crucial role in cleaning the Grande de Tarcoles river, the most contaminated in Central America.

Our Project
Conservation and protection of mangroves
Cleanup of the Grande de Tarcoles River
We conserve and protect the Costa Rican mangrove ecosystems, which protect our coasts, mitigate climate change by capturing carbon, and provide a habitat for species such as the scarlet macaw (Ara Macao).
We are committed to cleaning the Grande de Tarcoles river, the most polluted in Central America. About 60% of the waste from the Costa Rican Central Plateau ends up in this important river and on the shores of Guacalillo Beach, where it empties.
Research and education
Reduction of CO2 emissions
We promote environmental research and education through partnerships with universities and non-profit organizations, both public and private, connecting communities with environmental knowledge, promoting learning about the conservation and protection of mangrove and river ecosystems.
We actively work in reducing carbon emissions through the conservation of mangrove ecosystems, which act as natural carbon sinks. In addition, we promote sustainable practices in our operations and encourage local communities to adopt habits that contribute to climate change mitigation.
Guacalillo Surf & Skate Camp
Ecorganic Farm
This camp combines sports such as surfing and skateboarding with conservation activities and environmental education. Participants also get involved in beach cleaning and reforestation projects, learning about the importance of preserving coastal ecosystems.
Ecorganic Farm is a regenerative farm that teaches local communities about environmentally friendly farming practices. Organic crops produced on this farm help reduce pressure on natural ecosystems.
Ecological infrastructure and scientific tourism
We develop key infrastructure on land surrounding the Ara Macao Biological Reserve to support environmental research and education through ecological infrastructure and scientific tourism. These facilities will be designed in a sustainable way to integrate harmoniously into the natural environment.
Sustainable energy
We actively support infrastructure projects aimed at the generation of environmentally friendly and sustainable energy, specifically involving the innovative reuse of plastic waste materials collected from the Grande de Tarcoles river to effectively and sustainably produce fuel for a variety of purposes.
