The protected area of Palo Verde National Park (Palo Verde NP) is located in the province of Guanacaste, Costa Rica and is made up of a great variety of habitats, such as wetlands, rivers, mangles, meadows, dry forests and calcareous hills, in which there is a wide variety of animal and plant species. This area represents the preferred place to take in migrating birds in the Central American region and additionally it provides various ecosystem services which include the supply of water to human settlements and productive zones, and the adjustment of the water cycle. <\/strong><\/p>

Unfortunately, in 2012 Palo Verde NP continued to face a major problem of proliferation of facultative species, which included the typha (Thypha dominguensis) which presence altered its wetlands. This problem required an immediate action that could not depend on bureaucratic procedures of a public management system that had shown, up to that moment, not to have the capacity to deal with it in an integral way. Because of this in April 2012 the Save Palo Verde Campaign was launched. It was a fundraising effort from the Forever Costa Rica Association and Teletica Canal 7 (Costa Rican broadcaster).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n The antecedents, details, and results of the campaign are narrated in this case study, which is considered successful, not only because of the objectives reached, but because through the campaign, private and public companies joined efforts in favor of conservation, something that had no precedent in Costa Rica until then. <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
