Sonati Sociedad & Naturaleza Internacional Reserva Las Modroños Reforestation / Conservation Project, Nicaragua

Help Mother Nature reclaim her land

Nicaragua has some of the most incredible natural beauty in the world. However, over the last several centuries, that lush nature has given way to human development and farming. Much of the farming practice has severely damaged the land and balance in nature, displacing wildlife and destroying rivers and lakes. Sonati is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping Mother Nature reclaim her land for the benefit of all creatures who live in the forest, including man. If you want to help with the replenishing of natural tropical dry forest, book the Sonati Modronos Reserva VolunTour today!
