Maderas Rainforest Conservancy Corp

Maderas Rainforest Conservancy is a Miami-based nonprofit that operates two biological field stations: La Suerte, roughly 1,000 acres along the Rio La Suerte in northeastern Costa Rica, and Ometepe, on Ometepe Island in Lake Nicaragua. It runs field schools where undergraduate and graduate students take courses in primatology and rainforest ecology alongside veterinary and medical field missions. Its stated conservation focus covers rainforest deforestation, the illegal pet trade, women's empowerment, and community health, with local communities described as the strongest allies rainforests have.
