The LandScale Pilot in Greater San José Metropolitan Area, Costa Rica, commenced in 2020 and entails setting up a public-private partnership to restore and conserve the watershed around San José, thereby ensuring sustainable water supply for its people and economy. IUCN is the Implementing Partner while FUNDAECOR and Agua Tica are Strategic Partners. 

Agua Tica is a local water fund that unites key water suppliers and beverage companies to invest in watershed conservation and restoration activities. LandScale enables Agua Tica to track progress at the landscape level towards improving socioeconomic and environmental outcomes, to communicate their achievements to existing funders, and to attract new members or investors. It also serves as a tool to align Agua Tica’s activities with those of other landscape actors to ensure their diverse efforts are resulting in the positive changes they are all striving for.
