Dear <<First Name>>,
Happy New Year! Over the holidays, INOGO officially and successfully launched its educational pilot project, the Stanford Environmental Leadership and Language (SELAL) program. This is yet another Phase II INOGO project with local and regional stakeholders, and in this month’s newsletter we are proud to dedicate coverage exclusively to local actors that supported and participated in the educational program. Read about the Strategic Organizations El Remanso Lodge, Danta Corcovado Lodge, and Lapa Rios Ecolodge and their contributions to youth entrepreneurship, and also read about the various Strategic Actors at the CTP Puerto Jiménez. Additionally, read about participatory monitoring efforts undertaken by INOGO partner the Costa Rican Forest Service (SINAC) in the Osa Conservation Area (ACOSA)!
Saludos,
The INOGO Team |

This work is part of ACOSA's larger efforts toward a system of participatory monitoring, or citizen science. Read more |
