Álvaro Ugalde Scholarship & The Campaign for Corcovado

The Álvaro Ugalde Scholarship & The Campaign for Corcovado

The late Álvaro Ugalde, founder of the National Park Service in Costa Rica, was a pioneer in the field of conservation and an inspiration to all who knew him.

Osa Conservation, with the support of the blue moon fund, has created two funds to honor the memory of Alvaro and to continue his life’s work.

The Álvaro Ugalde Scholarship Fund

This fund will provide scholarships to young conservationists from Costa Rica and around the world. This small grant program is meant to foster a conservation ethic in students and young professionals and will provide them with experience in the field while contributing to the long-term conservation of the Osa Peninsula.

To donate, please make checks payable to The Álvaro Ugalde Scholarship Fund and send them to:

1012 14th Street NW, Suite 625
Washington, D.C. 20005

If you would like to send a wire transfer, please contact us at [email protected].

The Campaign for Corcovado

This fund will be directed to the Costa Rican government to support its efforts to remove illegal gold miners and poachers from Corcovado National Park. Osa Conservation will work closely with national and regional government entities to determine how funds are best directed in the effort to maintain the integrity of the park.

To donate, please make checks payable to The Campaign for Corcovado and send them to:
