As the world celebrates International Coastal Cleanup Day, the team at FPNA was proud to once again collaborate with Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort, Aruba to cleanup the coast along Arashi Dunes Beach together with rangers, hotel guests, associates, and students from the University of Aruba and the International School of Aruba.

This clean-up reinforces FPNA's commitment to protect and conserve designated terrestrial and marine protected areas in Aruba for generations to come.

A big thank you to everyone who made the time and effort. Let's continue harnessing the power of the people to fight ocean trash.

🦉Be Alert – ‘Shoco’ Nest on the beach‼️

Over the last few days, FPNA has been alerted to sightings of the burrowing owl, also called the ‘Shoco’, at Divi Beach. For those who don’t know, the ‘Shoco’ is one of the national symbols of Aruba, is endemic to Aruba, and is also a species protected by law.

Upon notification, FPNA’s very own Research and Conservation Manager, Gian Nunes and team naturally jumped into action to check the situation out, and came to find a nest with an over 2-meters long tunnel. Based on our observations, we can assume that there are eggs or babies inside, therefore making this an ‘active burrow’.

The area has been closed off, signs have been put up, and beach goers will be able to admire the ‘Shoco’ from a safe distance as they nest for the next few months.

FPNA in collaboration with its local partners have been protecting and monitoring the ‘Shoco’ population in Aruba for many years.

What can you do to help? If you see a ‘Shoco’ or come across a nest, please contact FPNA at info@arubanationalpark.org or call +297-585 1234

We want to thank the local population and visitors to the island for looking out for our national pride.

🎉Sharing of good news🎉

FPNA as an independent foundation responsible for the conservation and management of designated terrestrial and marine protected areas in Aruba is proud to share that after more than 180 years, it has acquired one of Aruba's most longstanding gems, "Fontein".

With "Fontein" now part of FPNA’s protected management area, conservation of the permanent freshwater ponds' natural diversity will be the primary task, which will enable FPNA to provide sustainable nature experiences within Parke Nacional Arikok, both for locals and international visitors to stay connected and engaged with nature.

We are thrilled that "Fontein" is back in the hands of the Aruban community.
