About

Our Mission

Protecting Nature. Empowering People.

Fundación Horizontes was born from a simple but powerful belief: Climate action should uplift communities, not bypass them.

We work hand-in-hand with rural and Indigenous communities across Costa Rica to restore forests, offset carbon emissions, and create sustainable jobs. Our programs bridge environmental protection with social progress — turning every donation into lasting impact.

Whether you’re offsetting a flight or committing to long-term change, your support helps protect biodiversity and improve lives.

What Makes Us Different

Local Roots. Global Responsibility.

We’re not just a carbon offset service — we’re a movement rooted in Costa Rican soil, culture, and community. Our work is led by local people, guided by science, and verified by trusted partners.

Through our programs, your contribution:

• – Restores threatened ecosystems with native species
• – Funds jobs in forest care, nursery management, and reforestation
• – Protects biodiversity in key conservation zones
• – Supports environmental education and long-term stewardship

Who We Work With

From smallholder farmers in Talamanca to youth leaders in Guanacaste, we collaborate with people who live closest to — and care most for — the land. Our team includes:

• – Reforestation crews
• – Nursery technicians
• – Environmental educators
• – Local scientists and advisors
• – Regional coordinators across 7 zones

Every role filled through Fundación Horizontes means one more household with stable income — and one more hectare of forest protected.

Our Vision

A climate-neutral Costa Rica that uplifts everyone.

Our long-term goal is to scale Costa Rica’s reputation as a sustainability leader while ensuring that environmental progress includes equity, dignity, and opportunity for all.

We envision a future where:

• – Offsetting is a human-centered act, not just a number on a screen

• – CO₂ emissions are balanced by thriving ecosystems

• – Communities thrive as stewards of nature
