Testimonials
"CEPA’s strategic partnership with Forest Friends has been transformative. Together, we’ve planted over 7,000 native trees so far and are on track to reach our 2030 target of 20,000 trees by the end of 2029. All of this is done while raising awareness among North American universities about ecosystem restoration and supporting grassroots non-profits in Costa Rica's Osa Peninsula. None of this would be possible without Forest Friends' dedication to providing CEPA with a customized solution, giving us and our clients confidence that our contributions are making a real impact on the environment."

"At Tulu Travel, we believe that every journey should leave a positive mark. That’s why we’ve partnered with Forest Friends to plant one tree and acquire one carbon credit for every person who travels with us to Costa Rica, connecting our value chain with nature and climate. Forest Friends has provided Tulu with the technical basis to calculate our tourists' impact on the climate and the right opportunities and tools to compensate for it."
"At Kuoda Travel, we believe in authentic, sustainable, and meaningful journeys. That's why we have partnered with Forest Friends and Green Initiative to ensure every vacation benefits the communities we visit, and the environments we observe. In 2022, we became Climate Positive by offsetting our GHG emissions and supporting forest restoration projects in Madre de Dios. With the help of our partners we became signatories of the Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism, reinforcing our commitment to net zero by 2050."
"Based on the award-winning book by Hernán Garrido-Lecca, which received the prestigious National Environmental Award in 2014, “Milagros: An extraordinary bear” is a production that combines adventure, fun and a powerful message that not only touches the hearts of young people and adults, but also promotes ecological restoration. MAPFRE, co-sponsor of the film and part of the “Milagros and Friends” campaign, contributed to the planting of more than 1,000 native trees and the certification of the film as Climate Positive. This campaign sets a new standard in the film industry worldwide, demonstrating that all economic sectors have the capacity to contribute to the decarbonization of the economy."
"Luz del Sur operates in an integrated manner, implementing sustainable practices throughout its entire production chain. Among these activities is our participation as co-sponsors to the certification of the "Milagros: An extraordinary bear" film as Climate Positive. Additionally, our certification with Forest Friends helped develop the 'Milagros and Friends' campaign, resulting in the planting of over 1000 native trees in Tambopata, reinforcing our commitment to the protection of biodiversity.
Our work with Forest Friends inspired us to participate in the renewal of the Carbon Neutral certification for Machu Picchu. Thanks to the joint efforts between multiple actors of the public and private sectors, we had the opportunity to contribute to the implementation of sustainable practices that reduced the carbon footprint of our Inca Citadel and helped it become the first carbon-neutral wonder of the world."
"Thanks to our partnership with Forest Friends, 1,000 trees have been planted on behalf of adidas, with the aim of expanding and conserving the habitat of different species, regenerating forests and capturing more than 3,000 tons of carbon dioxide over a period of 15 years. The planted trees will not only help preserve biodiversity, but will also provide fruits that can be marketed by the people living in the area to promote the local economy and improve their quality of life. With the help of Forest Friends' local partner, we traveled to Tambopata to learn more about this great project." Learn more here.
