 The award was handed out recently in New York, US, in the category of Leader in Sustainable Corporate Standards, a distinction that Rainforest Alliance grants year after year to those companies or persons committed to conservation for a greener world.
Nature Air operates local flights in Costa Rica and some cities in Nicaragua and Panamá.
It earned the distinction by being carbon neutral since 2006, and also in 2005, it made up for the emission of 4650 tons of carbon, the equivalent of 470,000 gallons of fuel used the year before. It also collaborated with the conservation of 494 acres of forest in the Osa peninsula, in the Costa Rican Southern Pacific. Other actions were taken into consideration which the company put into practice like recycling efforts and energy conservation, among others.
