<div>Save Pavones, Costa Rica - Protect Our Community
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Purpose: To fund legal battles, community advocacy, and environmental studies to stop the privatization of Pavones’ beaches, protect local homes and businesses, and preserve the community’s way of life.
</div>
<div>The Story:
</div>
<div>Pavones, Costa Rica—a natural paradise, surfer’s haven, and tight-knit community—is under threat. Developers and local authorities are pushing to transform this vibrant town into exclusive private resorts, threatening to:
</div>
<div>Privatize the beach and control the world-class Pavones wave.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Demolish local homes and businesses, some standing for over 30 years, with demolition orders already issued.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Eliminate public beach access by removing beach roads, replacing them with a boulevard, and providing almost no parking.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Displace local fishermen, relocating them to an unsuitable area and jeopardizing their access to the fish Co-Op, threatening their livelihoods.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Erase the community as we know it, leaving families homeless and jobless.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Municipality of Golfito is enabling this takeover, issuing demolition notices while ignoring the rights of locals. Outdated regulatory plans from the early 2000s, never updated despite a 5-year requirement, leave the community vulnerable. No recent environmental impact studies have been conducted, and the municipality’s negligence has left locals without legal security for decades.
</div>
<div>Why It Matters:
</div>
<div>Pavones isn’t just a wave—it’s a community. Families, local businesses, fishermen, and surfers have built a vibrant, sustainable life here. If this plan succeeds, longstanding businesses will be bulldozed, homes lost, and the community’s spirit destroyed. We’re fighting to preserve Pavones for everyone, not just the elite.
</div>
<div>How Your Support Helps:
</div>
<div>Your donations will:
</div>
<div>Fund legal action to challenge demolition orders and outdated regulatory plans.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Support community advocacy to amplify local voices and demand fair treatment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Commission environmental impact studies to protect Pavones’ ecosystem.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Raise awareness through campaigns to rally global support for our cause.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our Plan:
</div>
<div>Hire lawyers to fight demolition orders and push for updated, community-focused regulatory plans.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Organize rallies and petitions to pressure the Municipality of Golfito.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Conduct independent environmental studies to expose the risks of unchecked development.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Build a global movement to keep Pavones free and open for all.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Time Is Running Out:
</div>
<div>The developers are moving fast, and the demolition phase has already begun. Every dollar brings us closer to stopping this takeover and saving Pavones. Join us in protecting this paradise and its people.
</div>
<div>Call to Action:
</div>
<div>Donate now to save Pavones! Share this campaign with friends, surfers, and anyone who believes in preserving communities and public access to nature. Together, we can keep Pavones free for all.

</div>
<div>Thank You:
</div>
<div>Your support means the world to the families, fishermen, and locals of Pavones. Let’s fight for their right to exist and keep this paradise open for everyone
