Project Green Jungle is very pleased to announce our Costa Rican Campaign. We are working very hard to provide a responsible commercial agro-business to the Talamanca Region that is mutually beneficial to the participants involved. Through Responsible Commercialization we plan on making as much of a positive impact on the local community as possible.
The commercial wildlife trade is a profitable industry.
According to most studies, the wildlife trade generates billions of dollars each year across the globe. But if you mentioned those numbers to an indigenous trader from a Careworn Village in South America, he might scoff and point to his crumbling home or the bellies of his hungry children.
It rarely profits those who need it most.
The majority of proceeds from the wildlife trade do not line the pockets of indigenous peoples; but commercial operations and black market middlemen who profit by exploiting native communities for their greatest natural resource – wildlife. Through practices legal and illegal, exploitative trade threatens to devastate our planet
