The Association Rainforest of the Austrians, founded in 1991, is dedicated to saving the Esquinas rainforest by buying the land and donating it to the Republic of Costa Rica. Donations of more than 3 million dollars have been used to purchase properties that are then integrated into Piedras Blancas National Park. Aside from land purchase, the Austrian NGO helps protect the forest by hiring guards, has founded a research station and an
ecotourism project, and is actively involved in reforestation with the goal of creating biological corridors between isolated patches of rainforest.
