I am writing this to you about the important work of the Zeitz Foundation and the launch of their Long Run initiative.
The Zeitz Foundation (www.zeitzfoundation.org) was founded in 2008 by Jochen Zeitz, CEO and Chairman of PUMA, the global Sportlifestyle company. Mr. Zeitz founded the organization with the intention of promoting long term environmental and social sustainability through the balance of conservation, community, culture and commerce in privately managed areas.
This past month saw the global launch of The Long Run, a Zeitz initiative which attempts to affect global change in the way people live in conjunction with the environment (www.thelongrun.com). The project was conceived as a platform for long run change and to raise awareness about humans and nature living as one.
As one of the objectives, the Foundation works towards supporting and growing and alliance of Long Run Destinations across the world that exemplify best sustainable practices.
If is with great pride that we announce that Monte Azul Hotel and Center for Art and Design was selected as one of 9 businesses globally to be founding Long Run Destinations. (http://thelongrun.com/destinations/index)
Monte Azul is a product of the founding partners’ passion for the arts, belief in the need to protect our natural environment, and desire to make a positive impact on our local community.
Located in the village of Chimirol, in the mountains and rainforest of Southern Costa Rica, Monte Azul Nature Preserve, Monte Azul Contemporary Art (MACA) and Monte Azul Boutique Hotel promote art creation, exhibition and collection, while raising awareness for protecting our natural environment.
