Financial expenses for the organization are incurred in Costa Rica and Canada. In Costa Rica funds are used to ensure we can maintain ongoing research, community development and infrastructure at the station. In Canada, our primary costs are administrative. We have only one paid position in Canada, our Executive Director. This role is critical to the smooth operation of Caño Palma Biological Station and COTERC.
