In 2021, we purchased 155.9 hectares of montane mist forest in Costa Rica's Talamanca Cordillera, built a volunteer, education and ecotourism center and launched the Eye of the Jaguarmonitoring program, which also works with several national parks in La Amistad, Tapanti, La Cangreja, Santa Rosa and Palo Verde.

In 2023, we opened the Blue Life Ocean Center in Santa Elena Bay in Cuajinicquil, where we launched the unique Eye of the Oceanmonitoring program, which monitors marine mammals in the IMMA longfin humpback whale breeding zone in Santa Elena Bay, starting in August 2023. Newly, we will be involved in monitoring rays and sharks, including protecting them from illegal fishing in protected areas.

In 2020, we launched the Citizens' Patrols against Poisons in the Landscape in the Czech Republic, which we reorganised into the PEK - Prevention of Environmental Crime project in 2023. Our PEK outreach team has a nationwide scope and we focus on crimes committed against the environment and wildlife such as poisoning animals, poaching, baiting with banned meat baits, trapping animals in banned traps or abusing animals caught in hunting pots, and suspected illegal breeding of wildlife species and their abuse in captivity. Our focus is mainly on small and large carnivores and birds of prey. Our goal is to educate citizens about environmental crime prevention as well as direct field action by the PEK's field trip team. We intend to build a communication bridge between citizens and the responsible authorities in the field of environmental protection in the Czech Republic.

A unique international monitoring project, Eye of the Earth, was established in 2019, building on Eye of the Tiger, which has existed in Sumatra since 2014. Eye of the Earth has individual continental monitoring programs. Monitoring is currently taking place in the Czech Republic and especially in Costa Rica. We have previously operated in Asia - Eye of the Tiger I and II (Indonesia 2014-2025, Nepal 2023-2024), in Europe - Eye of the Bear (Slovakia 2019-2023) and Eye of the Wolf (Czech Republic from 2023) and in Central America - Eye of the Jaguar (Costa Rica, from 2021). All data are used to promote conservation and critically endangered species, national parks, to detect illegal activities and also for educational purposes within the framework of the project The Richest Ecosystems on Planet Earth. The Eye of the Earth is expected to become the basis for the creation of an international educational programme, Eye of the Earth.

From 2021, we are fully engaged in the protection of rainforests and critically endangered species in Costa Rica. We work with national parks and their rangers. We specialize in monitoring American jaguars in collaboration with biologists and detecting illegal activities inside and outside protected areas, with a focus on poaching and logging. Our goal is direct on-the-ground protection of wildlife from poaching.

Anyone who gets involved in supporting Justice for Nature projects is signing up for an extraordinary collaboration to protect the environment, wildlife in the rainforest and ocean environments, including the critically endangered species that live there. The backbone of our projects is direct on-the-ground conservation of nature and wildlife, but also creating awareness among local people and educating children and youth.
