Planet Conservation began as a dream to make a difference for local projects and amplify their impact. Over time, it has blossomed into a vibrant organization that embodies passion, sustainability, and community engagement. More than two decades ago, Beate and Federico fell in love with Costa Rica. This enduring connection led to the founding of Planet Conservation in 2006, transforming their passion into a mission of meaningful action.
Today, Planet Conservation has evolved into a leading provider of volunteer adventures, sustainable travel programs, and Spanish language immersion across the country, with active programs that combine Spanish classes, exciting adventures, cultural immersion as well as community and volunteer work. Our mission is to empower each participant to learn, grow, participate and connect with like-minded people from around the world.
Our programs offer participants the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with environmental projects, such as sea turtle conservation, and to engage in sustainability initiatives like our recycling program. This program combines beach cleanups, support for local recycling facilities, and the transformation of plastic waste, creating a network between local organizations and volunteers from diverse backgrounds. Together, we work to combat pollution and promote environmental education within the local community.
