Featured Project
Developing a Sustainable Tourism Economy
El Salvador

The shade coffee farms, forested volcanic landscapes, and beaches of Western El Salvador are an unknown treasure for ecotourists in Central America. The coffee economy of this lovely shaded region is declining due to foreign competition, a major threat to biodiversity and the local economy. EplerWood International is leading a destination development strategy that fostered the creation of Ecoexperiencias El Salvador, a web portal in both Englishand Spanish. The newest exciting development is that one of the local tour operators has begun giving whale watching tours. You can see footage here of recently sighted whales in Los Cobanos off the Pacific Coast. Read More...
