A note from the Synergy CAM team Last Saturday, September 19th, we got our hands dirty and it was exactly what we needed. We joined forces with Green Wolf Costa Rica for a volunteer day at Playa Guacalillo, in the canton of Garabito, Puntarenas, a coastal area that has long been one of the hardest hit by waste flowing in from the Central Valley. The morning started at 9:00 AM and didn't stop until noon, and what happened in those three hours was the kind of work that reminds

A note from the Synergy CAM team We've been heads-down building something for a while now. Today, we get to share it. The official landing page for the Synergy CAM Inaugural Conservation Gala is live at gala.synergycam.org and we'd love for you to take a few minutes to explore it, because there's a lot more inside than just a ticket link.

A note from the Synergy CAM team Something we've been working on quietly behind the scenes is finally ready to be said out loud: the Synergy CAM Gala has its first official sponsors. And we'll be honest — we couldn't be more proud of who said yes. These are three organizations from right here in the Tampa Bay area that share something important with us: a genuine belief that the natural world is worth protecting, celebrating, and investing in. Here's who they are. Owl's Nes

A note from the Synergy CAM team We've been getting the same question a lot lately: "Okay, but what actually happens at the Gala?" Fair question. So let's talk about it. The Synergy CAM Gala isn't just a dinner. It's a full evening, designed from start to finish to feel like something worth remembering. Here's what we can tell you. It starts outside We're kicking things off with an Outdoor Experience, a moment to arrive, breathe, and take in the atmosphere before the evening

A recap from the Synergy CAM team Some evenings just land differently. Last week's webinar was one of them. Conscious Ground Vol. 2 brought together 30 people around a topic that sounds simple on the surface, nature photography, but turned into something much deeper: a conversation about how we relate to the natural world, and whether our presence in it helps or hinders. The speaker was Jeffersom Porras Agüero, a biologist with a background in ecology and environmental scienc

And We Mean It When We Say They Won't Last This one's been a long time coming, and we're genuinely excited to say it: Early Bird tickets for the Synergy CAM Gala are officially on sale. The price is $65, available until August 7th or until they sell out, whichever comes first. We set this price intentionally. We want the people in that room to be there because they care, not because they had to stretch to afford it. $65 is our way of saying: if you've been thinking about show

A personal note from the Synergy CAM team We want to start with a number that stops me every time I say it out loud: Central America covers about 0.5% of the planet's land surface. Half of one percent. And yet this narrow bridge of land between two oceans holds somewhere between 7% and 12% of all known species on Earth. A strip of land roughly the size of France, squeezed between Mexico and Colombia, doing more biological heavy-lifting per square kilometer than almost anywher

Yet, despite this abundance, water is becoming an increasingly scarce and vulnerable resource in the region. Pollution, overuse, and the effects of c
