All
about the Costa Rica
Rain Forest Conservation Project
The Global Classroom has been working for over a decade to protect
some of the last remaining rain forest land in Costa Rica.Our first
big success was the purchase of 100 acres - the Aula Global
Reserve - in 2000. We are now working to extend our Reserve significantly,
in order to save a critical biological corridor.

Plan
your own trip to
the Aula Global Reserve
The Aula Global Reserve and Research Station/Lodge is now open to
visitors of all realms- bird watchers, college students, clubs, you
name it. Aula Global is an awesome get-away, off the beaten track
and unique in that it is unlike other tourist attractions in Costa
Rica. All you have to do is contact The Global Classroom, and the
Reserve can be yours for a few days or weeks.

Information on the Aula
Global Research Station and Lodge
This is
the only building that has been constructed on the Aula Global
property and is 100% eco-friendly. It is probably one of the most
incredible
places in the world to spend the night, as visitors wake up to
an orchestra of birds and insects and a beautiful view of old-growth
rain forest canopy. It was built by volunteers in 2001.
