Green Curtain Protection

The Green Curtain is one of the phenotypes responsible for Playa Grande's scenic beauty characterizing its spacious and desolate coastline. It is of great ecological importance because it protects the sand dune as a nesting site for sea turtles and it is a biological corridor for coastal species such as birds, iguanas, crabs, among others. It also reduces sonic and light pollution aimed at the beach, reduces erosion and calms the effects of climate change (high tides, strong winds). It is part of the National Park, requiring everyone's supervision to protect it from deforestation due to wildfires and coastal development of private properties that boarder it. We are working with SINAC, ADE Ambiente, Sostenibilidad en Grande and the forest fire bridage to coordinate the installation of a firebreak that runs parallel to the beach with signage to mark the perimeter between the National Park and private property. In addition, we support coastal restoration efforts through reforestation projects programed through Costas Verdes, Mi Bosque, SINAC and ADE Ambiente de Playa Grande.
