Green Curtain Protection

The Green Curtain is one of the phenotypes responsible for Playa Grande's scenic beauty characterizing its spacious and desolate coastline. It is of great ecological importance because it protects the sand dune as a nesting site for sea turtles and it is a biological corridor for coastal species such as birds, iguanas, crabs, among others. It also reduces sonic and light pollution aimed at the beach, reduces erosion and calms the effects of climate change (high tides, strong winds). It is part of the National Park, but it requires the supervision of everyone to protect it from deforestation due to the coastal development of private properties that boarder it. We are working with SINAC and ADE Ambiente to raise the necessary funds and coordinate the installation of fences and signs to mark the perimeter between the National Park and private property. In addition, we support the coastal restoration efforts of the green curtain through reforestation projects in collaboration with Costas Verdes, SINAC and ADE Ambiente de Playa Grande.
