GreenLagoon's Cerro Chato Biological Corridor

eco1Restoration of the Biological Corridor

GreenLagoon Enterprise has dedicated a great portion of its land to create the Cerro Chato Biological Corridor. The purpose of this program is to restore the Biological Habitat of Multiple members of the present and past fauna and flora in Cerro Chato. Some of these plants and animals are in the brink of extinction now. Some plants and trees are not found here anymore as they were in the past. Many species of animals have migrated out of the original Biological Corridor in Cerro Chato. To achieve this purpose, GreenLagoon Enterprise has created the TreeLand Farms and the TreeLand Card, which will be sold at $30 each card, to plant and maintain each tree and its area, as well as to map the Reforested and Protected Trees and Plants in the Corridor as well as the wildlife, especially in danger of extinction. Once this purpose is achieved, the land will be Reforested, Re-Built, Conserved, Preserved and Protected.

The concept of sustainability

The development of sustainable tourism must be seen as the balanced interaction between the use of our natural and cultural resources, the improvement of the quality of life among the local communities, and the economic success of the industry, which also contributes to national development. Sustainable tourism is not only a response to demand, but also an imperative condition to successfully compete now and in the future. (Definition of Sustainable Tourism, CST, 1997)
