Biological Research StationSustainable Development and Wild Nature Conservation in NICARAGUAGaia
The Biological Research Station "Estación Biológica" in Laguna de Apoyo Nature Reserve is a not-for-profit enterprise in public service. Estación Biológica serves as a support center for locally organized initiatives in conservation, including community organization and skills training, and as a hostel with rooms available to the public. It is also the site of Apoyo Spanish School, the oldest continuously operating Spanish school in Nicaragua. Our staff work closely with with the community and local and central government officials to promote actions and policies which protect the wild natural resources in Laguna de Apoyo Nature Reserve. Training and actions in natural resource management, natural sciences, wild animal rescue and rehabilitation, and Spanish language and the Nicaraguan popular cultural issues are conducted for Nicaraguans and foreigners planning to work or volunteer in the region. Through promotion of scientific research, Estación Biológica is the principal reason that Laguna de Apoyo Nature Reserve is the most widely cited natural area in Nicaragua in peer-reviewed scientific research reports. The resources of Estación Biológica are available for scientists, volunteers, and guests. We can host groups for courses, seminars, and retreats. Individuals and groups are invited for day visits or overnight stays. Would you like to join us? Please contact us by email, or by telephone 011-505-8882-3992.
