Costa Rica is famous around the world for its natural resources, biodiversity and ecological politics, we promote our country as one tropical ecological paradise; unfortunately not all what we say is true.

This video show us the serious problem that we have with the lack of environmental education in groups including fishers, people that need natural resources to make a living and communities in general. This problem is the principal reason for situations like shark finning, indiscriminate fishing and the contamination of rivers and oceans.

I think it is important to support that kind of organizations and request the government to take control of the situation, and really punish behaviors that don’t respect our environmental laws.
