WELCOME TO OPERATION RICH COAST

Operation Rich Coast (ORC) is a foundation committed to taking action for Costa Rica’s future by addressing both environmental and social challenges. Our mission is to empower communities, protect ecosystems, and create a sustainable future for all.

We engage in a broad range of activities—from beach cleanups and reforestation to wildlife conservation campaigns and environmental education—working to restore and preserve our natural resources. At the same time, we foster social change through programs like "Amorcito", which combats loneliness among the elderly and promotes the exchange of their wisdom with younger generations. Through these efforts, we empower youth to become leaders in both environmental and social causes, building a stronger, more connected community.

By nurturing both the environment and the people who call it home, we are creating lasting change—empowering individuals, protecting ecosystems, and ensuring a better tomorrow for Costa Rica.

OUR VISION

We aspire to be a regional and international leader in the restoration and protection of our ecosystems, where efforts such as combating pollution, reforestation, and sustainable waste management contribute to the health of our oceans, coasts, and terrestrial ecosystems.

We envision a united and empowered community where all generations work together to restore the balance of nature, promoting a healthier and more resilient environment.

Through education, active participation, and social programs that encourage intergenerational integration and respect, we seek to inspire transformative change that protects natural resources, improves quality of life, and creates a positive impact on society and the planet for future generations.
