This Is : COSTA RICA
The short film spotlights Costa Rica’s renowned biodiversity and introduces Aligria, a fledgling mountain community that seeks to live in harmony with its surrounding ecosystems.
Built on former cattle pasture, residents have begun a large‑scale reforestation effort, planting thousands of native trees across the hills. The settlement draws more than 30 nationalities, uniting locals, builders and dreamers around a shared regenerative vision.
In Aligria, “gardens become classrooms” and “the forest becomes a playground,” allowing children to climb trees, chase butterflies and learn directly from nature. The transformation from degraded land to thriving forest illustrates the tangible impact of community‑driven restoration.
If replicated, this model could reshape eco‑tourism, real‑estate development and climate‑action strategies, offering investors and policymakers a proof‑of‑concept for scaling regenerative living worldwide.
