On Feb. 23 you can help the whales, just by attending to the premiere of the movie "Big Miracle" starring actress Drew Barrymore. Tourists come here to enjoy the costa rica ecology tours because the ticoland has a lot of animal species; that’s why the country organizes these types of activities.

The money raised at the premiere will go to the Costa Rican Coalition for Whales, who seek resources to send delegates to Panama, to the next meeting of the International Whaling Commission (IWC). This commission fights to prevent the killing of whales in Japan, and makes forums to report on the importance of whales in Costa Rica and Latin America.  The top hotels costa rica offers tours to watch the most exotic animals while you are staying at this beautiful place.

The participation of the Ticos in the IWC, seeks to highlight the contributions of the activity of whale watching to economic development in the coastal towns of the country.

Companies PRETOMA, Keto, The Leatherback Trust, Humane Society International, PROMAR, World Society for the Protection of Animals, Preserve Planet, Life Environmental Association, and UESPRA Marviva are the institutions that make up the Costa Rican Coalition for the Whales.

The premiere of "Big Miracle" will be held on Thursday February 23 in theaters Terramall at 7:30 pm; one of the places with lots of things to do in costa rica.

Big Miracle is a family drama based on the 1989 book Freeing the Whales by Tom Rose. In the film starts Drew Barrymore and John Krasinski. It was directed by Ken Kwapis.

This movie deals with the story of a journalist and a volunteer with Greenpeace trying to save a group of gray whales trapped in the ice of the Arctic Circle.
