The institution charged with the task of administering Costa Rica’s biodiversity is the Ministry of the Environment and Energy (MINAE), and more specifically to the National System of Conservation Areas (SINAC), which is responsible for the conservation and sustainable use of the country’s biodiversity. SINAC has 11 Conservation Areas distributed throughout the country and is headed by a Directorate that provides technical support. 
A little over 25% of the country’s territory is under some category of protection, and this percentage is increasing thanks to the support of the private sector, which has created many private reserves dedicated mainly to ecotourism and research. This is a conservation effort that few countries in the world have undertaken and in which Costa Rica has invested substantial resources for the well-being of present and future generations. 
Whoever wants to adorn themselves with this must submit to a strict and elaborate audit in which an extensive criteria catalogue is checked. Belonging to that is more active environmental protection, sewage clarification facilities, waste recycling and the use of biologically degradable detergents. The food prepared in restaurants is considered about the protection of the environment and organically cultivated products of local producers are positively rated here. Energy-saving measures and the related training of the staff are also important criteria. But not only internal measures of the participants are challenged, the external impact on the customers is also demanded, for example, information panels about the environmental protection and the correct behavior in the nature. And, because the social environment also belongs to the project, activities in the local communities are also asked for. This can be funding of the library or the support of the local school.
