Rio Chirripo Retreat is situated in San Jose, in the region of San Jose of Costa Rica . This country was able, despite the difficulties arising from its economic model, to set up effective ecological action .
For decades, Costa Rica has been plagued with deforestation, but has made plenty of effort to reduce the amount of forest that is cut down and often abandoned. Because the country is very agricultural and known for its export of food, including corn and bananas, there is a great need for land to farm and produce these crops. However, the country has made use of the forest land and actually began to utilize the shade that is created by the canopy in order to successfully grow the necessary crops. This not only saves space, but greatly reduces the amount of pesticides used to protect the produce . San Jose more precisely is a city whose inhabitants are mobilizing more and more in order to implement local solutions to limit one way or another their ecological footprint .
