The Tropical Station La Gamba (see photo gallery) is in the process of establishing biological corridors in the Piedras Blancas National Park, Costa Rica. These corridors will preserve biodiversity by facilitating migratory movements and the genetic exchange of plants and animals. As the areas concerned are mostly privately owned, a sustainable roadmap must integrate the economic needs and traditions of the local population (e.g., reforestation with local timber trees or alternative cultivation such as permaculture).

A carbon offset project initiated in conjunction with the 20th International Conference on Environmental Informatics (EnviroInfo-2006) develops and tests mechanisms that support a neutral carbon balance of large events such as corporate meetings or international conferences. The involved logistics cause significant emissions. While avoiding or reducing these emissions should always be among the organizers' primary concerns, funding reforestation projects represents a complementary strategy to offset those emissions that inevitably occur.
