Costa Rica
National Celebrations
"CRiterio Ambiental", the 1st. International Environmental Film Festival in La Fortuna de San Carlos, Costa Rica will take place in September 2010, with the gentle collaboration of the International WWF bureau in Switzerland, as well as the support of many important and diverse local governmental and non-governmental entities.
Though Costa Rica is a quite small country, it has the enormous privilege of hosting almost 6% of the world's biodiversity, a reason why it could be the perfect setting for an event in which the population and the international guests and visitors, will find an opportunity to interact and exchange important ideas on how to better preserve our habitat.

Une approche intégrée de développement du territoire basée sur les services écosystémiques favorise la conservation de la biodiversité tout en permettant la présence des populations humaines. Le projet Québec-Costa Rica a pour objectifs de développer un S.I.G. de la biodiversité et l’élaboration d’une méthodologie de transfert de techniques, coopération et création de capacités vers la communauté de Gandoca en accord avec les principes de l’Agenda 21 Local. Cette expédition scientifique permet à une équipe d’étudiants du Cégep de l’Outaouais issus de 5 programmes d’études d’intégrer leurs compétences et de mettre en valeur la biodiversité et contribuer à sa conservation.
