Who We Are

The Quetzal Education Research Center, located in San Gerardo de Dota, Costa Rica, educates students field biology and research, while promoting biodiversity, sustainability, and social responsibility.

To this end,  QERC works with students and researchers from around the world, to educate and conduct research focused on the tropical cloud forest and its floral and faunal community. QERC integrates local farmers with research scientists, educators, and students from around the world in the effort to merge good conservation practice and economic viability in the local community.
