Our Philosophy

It’s time to face the facts! Scientists and global organizations have already continuously rang the alarm affirming that the time to reverse the devastating environmental impacts of climate change is running out.

Despite the warnings, human beings continue at a rapid pace on a path that leads to global crisis. The clock still ticking and yet there are no signs of serious structural agreements to confront this planetary challenge.

Inspiring change...

Talamanca is a blessed land that has survived many threats throughout history managing to preserve its mystic and proving that a healthy coexistence between different cultures and nature is possible.
But it’s facing new and challenging threats belonging to a modern world that pushes globalization and monetary dependence one way or another sacrificing cultures, nature and quality of life too.
WE ARE CHANGE. The GreenCoast team and its allies will promote an integral and sustainable development standard, honoring those who defended this land in the past, guaranteeing a healthy home for new generations and sending a message of hope to the world, “another way of living is possible”. Nothing is lost yet but time is now and we have to act with faith, courage and heart.
 “Many small people who in many small places do many small things can alter the face of the world” (Eduardo Galeano)
