Fiesta Verde 2014

Fiesta Verde

The annual dinner and fundraiser for the Canadian Organization for Tropical Education and Rainforest Conservation.  It is the event of the year that celebrates the diverse and fragile beauty of one of the most important ecosystems found on the planet, the rainforests. COTERC is working to protect rainforests through research and education but we need help to reach our goals. It is our hope that Fiesta Verde will offer you much entertainment and education while gathering funds for COTERC that will keep the Organization viable well into the future.

What is the Theme for This Year?

“Sharing Beauty, The Migratory Birds of Canada and Costa Rica”

 Many species of birds spend their warmer seasons here in Canada but move south all of the way to Costa Rica for the winter. Some of these species are even found at the Cano Palma Biological Station which is operated by COTERC. These migratory birds are a perfect symbol for us of the integrated connections that are shared between very different parts of the world. They also show us the importance of maintaining these ecosystems in a healthy state so that these birds and many other creatures can continue to call them home.
