The government of Germany donated nine million euros (US$12.4 million) to Costa Rica so it can fight climate change and strengthen biocorridors program.
Biological corridors involve connectivity between protected areas and areas of high biodiversity to counter habitat fragmentation, currently being proposed as a new tool to promote nature conservation.
In Costa Rica there are 37 such areas designated as priority.
Costa Rica’s Ministry of Environment and Energy (MINAE), said in a press release that six million is earmarked to promote the conservation of biocorridors and the remaining three in the fight against climate change, specifically in the New Carbon Bank, which was created recently to enable the country to achieve carbon neutrality by 2021 .
