To be aware of the importance
of natural resources within the tourism
industry. The administration team intends
to be leaders in their efforts in the conservation
of natural eco-systems. Over 60% is in strict
protection by means of an ecological succession
system.
The wood used for the infrastructure: Bridges,
platforms, rails, ranches, reception, restaurant,
sanitary services, first aid areas etc.
is wood certified for plantation. With the
natural grounds we were able to take advantage
of the open spaces to construct the new
edifices, allowing the preservation of the
various species of trees and other natural
life.
The planning and construction in its entirety
has been under the supervision and control
of professionals to ensure minimal impact
on the development of the natural eco-systems.
We have fulfilled and exceeded the requirements
imposed by the ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNICAL SECRETARY
(SETENA), who make inspections periodically,
to determine whether any harmful effects
are being caused to the environment.
Brisas de la Jungla has become a member
of the NACIONAL CHAMBER OF ECOTOURISM (CANAECO),
in uniting the efforts at a national level
in the protection and conservation of natural
resources. The knowledge of Costa Rica’s
natural wealth and biodiversity has spread
worldwide resulting in international recognition
of the countries exquisiteness. This is
of great importance to the tourist industry,
because we believe that ecotourism is an
instrument for economic development, enabling
us to achieve progress in poverty stricken
areas by means distributing the local economies
evenly and group participation, and the
spread of knowledge to the people.
In (2005) the administration team carried
out a study to find out how much disturbance
the environment can undertake from human
interference. The results of this study
has formed the framework of Brisas de la
Jungla, a biologically aware organisation
that takes care of the natural resources
that we have as our main attraction, for
example, we recycle.
