Support Cerro Nara
A forest like Cerro Nara is protected through thousands of small, sustained acts of care.
When you give to Eco Era, you help protect the forest as a whole: its water, wildlife, old-growth trees, ecological corridors, and the people whose daily work keeps it standing.
Protect Cerro NaraProtecting a rainforest is daily work, and monthly giving is what keeps it going.
Monthly support gives Eco Era a steady income it can plan around. It helps keep caretakers in the field, monitoring active, boundaries protected, and conservation work moving forward month after month.
Small recurring gifts become something much larger when they are sustained over time.
$25per month
Helps sustain the day-to-day operations that keep protection going.
From field supplies and transportation to maintaining trails, equipment, and access across the property, conservation depends on hundreds of practical needs being met consistently.
$25 a month helps keep the work on the ground moving.
$50per month
Helps provide supplies used for anti-poaching and forest monitoring.
Threats to a forest rarely arrive all at once. They often begin with a trail, a cut tree, a new access point, or a subtle change along a boundary. Consistent monitoring helps Eco Era recognize those changes early, when there is still time to respond.
$50 a month helps turn vigilance into prevention.
$100per month
Contributes to the cost of the caretakers who know this landscape intimately.
Conservation depends on people who return to the same places season after season and learn to read what is changing: the condition of a trail, the movement of wildlife, the health of a stream, or an unfamiliar sign at the forest edge. An occasional visit won't build that knowledge.
$100 a month helps sustain the human presence that keeps the forest protected.
$250per month
Supports the legal and administrative work required to strengthen permanent wildlife refuge protection for the Eco Era reserve.
The forest has been stewarded by a collective of families for more than thirty years. The next step is building conservation protections designed to endure beyond any single person or generation.
$250 a month helps move Cerro Nara toward a future where its protection is written into law.
Sponsor a species
A tapir disperses seeds across the forest floor. A jaguar depends on connected territory. A bellbird needs mature forest and room to move between elevations. Their survival is tied to the health of the watershed, the continuity of the corridor, and the daily work of keeping this landscape intact.
Sponsor a Species connects your support to that living network.
Your contribution helps protect the habitat and ecological relationships a species depends on: forest patrols, scientific monitoring and watershed protection across Cerro Nara. You are helping protect the conditions that allow its species to remain here.
A species cannot be protected in isolation.
To protect a tapir means protecting the forest it travels through, the plants it feeds on, the water it drinks, and enough connected habitat for populations to move and reproduce.
To protect a bellbird means protecting mature trees, fruiting plants, nesting habitat, and an unbroken range of elevations.
To protect a jaguar means keeping a landscape large enough to support prey, water, cover, and movement.
So a species sponsorship ends up funding the habitat around the animal, too.
Guardian
per year
Baird's Tapir
Support the connected forest habitat needed by one of Central America's largest and most ecologically important mammals.
Your sponsorship helps sustain the patrols, monitoring, research, and corridor protection that allow tapirs to continue moving through Cerro Nara.
Guardian recognition includes
Sentinel
per year
Central American Squirrel Monkey
Help protect the connected canopy habitat required by one of the region's most geographically restricted primates to feed and move.
Your sponsorship supports long-term stewardship of the landscape the species depends on while helping Eco Era document what is changing within it.
Sentinel recognition includes
Steward
per year
Jaguar or Three-Wattled Bellbird
Support conservation at the scale wide-ranging species require, where prey, water, cover, and movement all have to hold together.
From mature forest and prey populations to altitudinal movement and regional habitat connectivity, protecting wide-ranging species means keeping entire ecological systems functioning.
Steward recognition includes
Founding Steward
per year
Choose a documented species
Follow one documented Cerro Nara species, and the forest it depends on, over several years.
Founding Stewards support the long-term conservation of a documented Cerro Nara species while helping Eco Era advance permanent land protection, scientific research, watershed stewardship, and the continued defense of the biological corridor.
Founding Steward recognition includes
Where your support goes
Your gift helps fund the daily work behind every acre Eco Era protects.
The trees standing at Cerro Nara today are here because people chose, again and again, to protect them. The next chapter will depend on the same kind of commitment.
People who come back to the same place, year after year.
Your support lets Eco Era plan years ahead, and hand on a forest that still has wildlife moving through it and clean water leaving it.
Help keep Cerro Nara alive.
