Jardín Gaia memorial page feedback form
Due to recent changes in the wildlife legislation and the continuing lack of support from the Costa Rican government, Jardín Gaia has closed for good. The project's research and veterinary equipment has been relocated to a similar project on the nearby Rio Savegre.

You can still browse the old site, or look at the brand new photo album (pictures from 1996). I would like to keep this page here as a monument to the volunteers who helped run this project for almost ten years. In time I hope to see a full list of all the volunteers who worked on the project, perhaps with email addresses where known.

Are there any ex-volunteers out there who read these pages? Would you be interested in sending in some photos for additional photo albums? Please use the discussion forum for volunteer reunions? Let me know! (Eoin, March/April 1995, July 1997 and April 1999) Use the feedback form to send comments!

Dario Castelfranco, director of the project, is continuing with the orchid project, a bid to provide a sustainable international orchid supply and provide local employment. He is sorry for the way Jarín Gaia finished up, but is hopeful for the future. "Already we have bred many hundreds of orchid species. Although we currently have no requirement for volunteers, we will in the future, and a link to the homepage of the Orchid Project."
