With over 22,000 hectares of primary and secondary forests, along with areas in the process of regeneration, this reserve is a true natural treasure. What truly sets BEN apart is its unique history of global collaboration. Children, adults, schools, and organizations from over 44 countries came together to preserve this natural paradise. Now, under the management of the non-profit organization, the Monteverde Conservation League, BEN stands out as the largest private reserve in Costa Rica.
BEN is much more than a biodiversity sanctuary. It is a hub of activities dedicated to conservation and environmental education. Here, the mission is to preserve and rehabilitate tropical ecosystems and their biodiversity. This is achieved through reforestation, research, ongoing protection, and surveillance. Additionally, sustainable development and ecotourism are promoted, including trails, talks, hikes, and biological stations.
As part of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve “Agua y Paz” and as a founding member of the Costa Rican Private Reserves Network and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), BEN is a beacon of conservation and global collaboration. Every visit to BEN is an opportunity to learn, marvel at biodiversity, and be part of a preservation effort that transcends borders. Join us in this conservation adventure and discover the wonder of the Eternal Children’s Forest in Monteverde!
