Cano Negro Youth Education Program

2023 UPDATE

The Rural Communities and Nature Coexistence Youth Education Program seeks to build on existing environmental education programming by taking the top 10 students from the villages of Cano Negro, San Antonio and Aguas Negras, Costa Rica and deepening their training. The goal of the program is to build the future leaders in the community on matters of environmentalism and conservation.  

The program’s second year ran in February 2024 for 3 weeks and focused on biodiversity, ecosystems and species, waste management, reforestation, conservation and wildlife monitoring. The students also performed a community impact project in the form of a mural and conducted discussions with locals about the impacts of tourism.

This program is developed and administered by YDCCF Premier Lodge Partner Fly Fish Costa Rica.
