First let me say the developer owns much more land than will ever be developed. The company owns land in the Osa Peninsula, land in maritime concession zones as well as a significant amount of primary forest. This land will be preserved and protected. In each phase of development a potion of the property is left as green space leaving corridors for animals to travel through. Rivers passing through the property are now protected by means of a buffer space on both sides of the river, though in some earlier phases this was not required.
The developer we represent does all work complete with great respect for the environment, using sustainable wood products. All of their developments are on prior pasture land and we never clear primary forest. They maintain natural buffer zones and protected areas within the developments, in excess of what is required by law. They also give a percentage of all sales toward environmental protection.
