Over the past four years, we have fostered relationships, developed recognition structures, and created pathways for individuals to engage in **land & water stewardship**, **resource management**, and **skills development** in the Southern Pacific Zone of Costa Rica.\n\n## A Unique Bioregion: Rural, Resilient, and Ready for Regeneration\n\nCosta Rica\u2019s **Southern Pacific Zone**, from **mountain to sea**, is a rich ecosystem that has remained largely agricultural and conservation-focused to respect and protect it's globally recognized biodiversity. This region attracts people passionate about **permaculture** and **land restoration**, working alongside local communities to support **preservation efforts**. Our work centers around building a **resilient economy** through **shared governance** and **resource-sharing**, guided by the **Boruca Indigenous community** and global regenerative practitioners.\n\n[Learn more about our Bioregion](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0016328705001394)  \n\n## A Collaborative Network of Stewards and Innovators\n\nOur team includes **land stewards**, **community organizers**, and **global regenerative experts** working together to implement models that blend **traditional knowledge** with **decentralized finance (ReFi)**. We\u2019ve developed the **Eight Stages of Stewardship**, providing pathways for people to progress from **visitors to land trustees**. Events like the **Seed Festival**, **[Protopian Convergence](https://www.protopianconvergence.org/nextevent)** and **[Bliss Burn](http://blissburn.org/)** connect global regenerative leaders with local communities to drive forward our vision.\n\n## Bioregional Financing: A Model for Global Impact\n\nAs we scale our work, we\u2019re building a **Bioregional Financing Facility (BFF)** to fund **land restoration**, **cultural exchange**, and **ecological projects**. This facility ensures resources flow directly to grassroots leaders regenerating our bioregion, with a focus on **transparency** and **community-led governance**.\n\n\n## Honoring Indigenous Wisdom and Preserving Cultural Heritage\n\nThe **Boruca Indigenous people** play a crucial role in shaping our bioregional strategy. Their deep ecological knowledge guides our efforts to regenerate the land and protect **sacred sites**. We are committed to embedding **Indigenous wisdom** in every aspect of our work, from **land restoration** to **decision-making**.\n\n## How We\u2019ll Use Gitcoin Funds\n\nYour support will help us:\n- **Reward Past Contributors** who have added significant value to our projects.\n- **Fund Critical Organizational Roles** to manage ongoing activities and ensure transparency.\n- **Foster Cultural Exchange and Education** through workshops and immersive experiences with local and Indigenous communities.\n\n\n---\n\n## A Call to Action for Regenerative Guardianship\n\nBy supporting this project, you are committing to a **regenerative future** where **local leadership**, **Indigenous wisdom**, and **global technology** unite to honor and restore sacred land. Together, we become **guardians**, **stewards**, **warriors**, and **protectors** of our precious land and waters. This mission is about more than conservation\u2014it\u2019s about living regeneratively and ensuring future generations inherit a **thriving ecosystem**.\n\nJoin us in safeguarding the **land and watersheds** of Costa Rica\u2019s Southern Pacific Bioregional Zone, nurturing life, and empowering local leadership to create a harmonious balance between **people and nature as one planet**.\n\n\n", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectTwitter": "diamantebridge"}, "recipient": "0xd6040F11ebbFFb6eaA61D2197767aa2B7dF71d43"}}
