NO MORE ‘GREEN WASHING’

By Marina Ocampo

One of the main focus areas of the work of the Titi Conservation Alliance is assistance to our members to introduce more sustainable practices in their work and, as a tangible proof of their commitment to the sustainable development, to get certified by the Costa Rica Certification for Sustainable Tourism (CST) Program.

The program evaluates four categories: The interaction between the company and its surrounding natural habitat, the management policies and the operational systems within the company and its infrastructure, the interaction of the company with its clients in terms of how much it allows and invites the client to be an active contributor to the company’s policies of sustainability, and the interaction of the company with the local communities and the population in general.

Giving Titi Thanks

During this holiday season and as the year comes to a close; it is only natural to begin looking back and truly appreciating those things for which we are thankful.

At Titi Conservation Alliance, we are thankful to live in one of the only places on Earth where one can watch the playful titi (squirrel) monkeys bounding through the trees. What a treat!

We are also endlessly thankful that this community, in which the titis call home, is also home to many caring citizens and businesses. We give our thanks to our fantastic Member businesses that support us each and every month.

The Latest News from Titi Conservation Alliance

At Titi Conservation Alliance, we focus daily on our mission to save the endangered titi (squirrel) monkey by promoting sustainable development and conservation for Costa Rica’s Central Pacific coast. Our energies are spent most diligently in three primary project areas: 1) Sustainable Development; 2) Habitat Reforestation; and 3) Environmental Education.

So what exactly does that mean we do on a daily basis?

I’m glad you asked.

Mirrored after the wonderful “We Share” program started by Hotel Parador, Titi Conservation Alliance has developed a new donation program called Common Cents that brings a fantastic opportunity to all local hotels to give something back to the community.

What is it?

Common Cents provides an opportunity to contribute more support for local organizations like Titi Conservation Alliance, while also educating and informing customers of responsible business practices.

It is a program set up so that hotels act as the conduit for the donation, without costing them a penny.
