History

A community green space in Paraíso, Barahona, created to protect the local watershed and preserve the coastal dry forest's biodiversity. Born from neighborhood organizing and institutional backing to halt deforestation and secure water for surrounding communities. Today it serves as an ecological lung, a family recreation spot, and an environmental education hub where you can spot endemic species and experience low-impact sustainable tourism in the region.
