Grupo Puntacana Foundation’s mission is to protect and restore the natural resources of the Punta Cana region. Known as sustainable leaders in the Dominican Republic, with a long history in providing solutions to environmental challenges facing the region, the Foundation has an established roster of programs that support this mission.
Through the Grupo Puntacana Foundation we operate the first Sustainability Center and Marine Laboratory within Puntacana Resort & Club, managing more than 10 environmental impact programs. Aligned with that vision we have created an environment where our visitors can actively participate in interesting ecological activities at sea and land.
Some of Grupo Puntacana Foundation’s main projects are: PESCA (Partnership for Ecologically Sustainable Coastal Areas) – Coral Gardens (protect the remaining Acropora wild colonies and increase this population) – Sustainable Agriculture- Worm Compost – Beekeeping – Aquaponics – Vegetable Gardens – Protecting Ridgway’s Hawk – Reserva Ecológica Ojos Indígenas – Zero Waste – Turtle conservation.
The Grupo Puntacana Foundation was formed to implement programs that improve the health and wellbeing of the local communities of Punta Cana in basic areas of human development, seeking to be a catalyst for positive change influencing different sectors of society through the achievement of concrete and lasting examples of sustainability.
