Connecting the Roots

Connecting the Roots is a UK rewilding charity working with local farmers and landowners in Costa Rica, helping to restore biodiversity.

Connecting the Roots

Connecting the Roots aims to effect change at both a local and global level by restoring critical biodiversity, and connecting an increasingly disconnected human population to the natural world .

We produce a biodiversity framework for restoring vital ecosystems, and support local communities via in-person and online educational and community programmes.

Interdisciplinary collaboration is key to our creative process. We work with scientists, technologists, artists, local communities, wisdom-keepers and more to create extraordinary resources for transformational work, driven by our collective aim to rewild the land and the world around us.

Our initial vision is to restore biodiversity to the 10,000 hectare corridor that stretches from Diria National Park to the Ostional Turtle Reserve on Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula. This area consists of tropical dry forest – a ‘priority ecosystem’ that is proven to be vital to the fight to save our planet.
