Nuestro equipo está formado por personas comprometidas con la conservación de la biodiversidad en Costa Rica. Somos profesionales apasionados que trabajamos con dedicación, apertura y respeto, y valoramos profundamente el aprendizaje y el trabajo colaborativo. Actualmente desarrollamos dos programas principales: Cría y Liberación de la Guacamaya Verde, enfocado en la reproducción en cautiverio y posterior liberación de esta especie en peligro crítico, fortaleciendo sus poblaciones silvestres. Restauración del Hábitat en la Zona Norte, que busca recuperar ecosistemas clave mediante la siembra de especies nativas, el control de invasoras y la creación de corredores biológicos. Esperamos que nuestros voluntarios sean tratados con amabilidad, respeto y empatía. Fomentamos un ambiente seguro, inclusivo y de apoyo, donde cada persona se sienta valorada y motivada a contribuir. Les ofrecemos acompañamiento continuo, espacios de aprendizaje y una experiencia significativa en conexión con la naturaleza.

I spent six weeks volunteering with MRN, gaining hands-on experience in conservation and animal care, including tree planting and animal husbandry. The staff were very welcoming and passionate, and it was great working with like-minded volunteers, with cookouts and shared dinners helping create a strong community. The accommodation was very basic and not always the cleanest, but being in the jungle meant we were surrounded by beautiful nature. Some days were hard work, especially over Christmas with fewer volunteers, but overall the experience was rewarding and I would HIGHLY recommend MRN.

I absolutely loved my experience at MRN. Punta Islita is a beautiful place and the staff and volunteers at MRN are all amazing to work with. I was a little nervous about having zero background in biology, but it was not necessary, and I learned a lot about parrot care and pre-release training along the way. My month here was such a fulfilling way to experience travel.
