Annual Report
Message from the President
I begin this introductory message to our Annual Report for 2009, the year in which we
commemorated the XX Anniversary of the founding of INBio, repeating a phrase that I
believe makes a lot of sense on this special occasion: “Life can only be understood by
looking backwards, and it can only be lived by looking forward.”
Indeed, this report is a glimpse backward of the year, complemented by several thought
and analytical exercises in which we condense our main achievements, in order to explain
to society the reason to celebrate these twenty years since INBio was created.
Making this retrospective of the institution’s work was very pertinent, as it allows us to
objectively demonstrate the magnitude of INBio’s contribution to saving, learning about
and using Costa Rican biodiversity. We can be rightly proud of what we have done for
Costa Rica and for its biodiversity.
All this gives us many good reasons to continue our work in the future, grounded in the
achievements of the past but making realistic adjustments to our plans for the institution’s
tasks. This is very important given the transformation that the national and international
contexts have undergone in many aspects. These are changes that have directly and
indirectly impacted our institution.
2
Annual Report
2009
Toward this end, we are now looking forward to making new and greater efforts for
conservation and the intelligent use of Costa Rican biodiversity.
Among the main themes that will guide our activities are integral territorial management
for addressing the challenges of the nation’s social and economic development, global
change and climate change in particular, clean and renewable energy sources, and
innovation and enterprise as engines for sustainable development.
We must reposition our institution to face these challenges based on the four strategic
elements that we have identified for a sustainable INBio: the excellence of our work, the
flexibility and efficiency of our organization, the permanent building and consolidation
of strategic alliances with other people and institutions, and the sustainable financial
foundation over time.
As the Costa Rican citizen’s organization that INBio is, all these considerations will allow
us to continue making progress in the future, contributing to the fundamental cause for
humanity that is the conservation of our biological diversity.

Annual Report
For Our XX Aniversary
As INBio president Rodrigo Gámez stated in an article published in Costa Rica’s La Nación
newspaper on October 27, 2009: two decades after defining its mission, the philosophy
behind this reason is more appropriate than ever. The many practical applications that
are derived from the sustainable use of biodiversity for fields such as agriculture, tourism,
medicine, education and industry are more evident and underscore the challenge that we
human beings have to learn to live in harmony with nature.
During its 20 years, INBio has contributed to strengthening this awareness and to
generating information about biodiversity, which serve as inputs for decision making
regarding conservation and defining actions that promote the equilibrium of life on the
planet.
The year 2009 was marked by an institutional adjustment or alignment that allowed the
different processes and projects to respond to the guiding themes defined in the new
Strategic Plan for 2009–2013.
INBio did not escape the international economic crisis that affected many sectors
significantly. This represented a challenge as well as an opportunity for improvement,
innovation and the creation of new alliances.

Annual Report
2009
In this context in response to the new needs and challenges, a new five-year plan was
approved in October 2008, consisting of six strategic elements: Scientific and technological
development, Natural capital administration, Bioliteracy, Involvement in decision making,
Enterprise development and Institutional strengthening.
INBio made an adjustment in its processes and projects with regard to the following
priority themes:
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
climate change
food security
alternative energy (bioenergy, etc.)
health
integral territorial management
water
information and communication technologies
conservation
The year 2009 was characterized by a greater institutional presence within and outside
of the country, as expressed in the production of many materials in different formats,
an increase in the numbers of visitors, greater coverage by communication media and
strengthening of the formation of alliances with the public and private sectors.

prioritized by the Fund (www.canjeusacr.org).
Support to initiatives for the development of products in the
tourism and education–recreation sectors:
Technical assistance was provided to different initiatives, including:
– Biological stations at the Hotel Villa Blanca (Las Nubes de San Ramón) and the
Veragua Rainforest Park (Limón). Scientific research is carried out at these places,
which is also converted into added value for the sustainable tourism products that
these businesses offer.
– Support in the environmental component during the development of the first
phase of the educational park that is being built in the canton of Desamparados,
which will provide the public with a space for environmental and cultural activities.
The project is being developed by the Ministry of Culture and Youth (MCJ) with
support from the La Libertad Park Foundation.
– Native species garden at Hotel Parque del Lago.
– Sustainable tourism in the community of Santa Juana, Puntarenas province, with
support from Greentique Hotels (formerly Green Hotels).

Scotiabank, the Costa Rican Institute for Sports and Recreation (ICODER), SINAC
and the Ministry of Justice (MJ).
Alliances and formulation of work proposals with national
businesses for the development of products derived from
biodiversity or for the improvement of processes:
– A proposal was made to CENIBIOT, with economic support from the Ministry
of Science and Technology (MICIT), that the laboratory results obtained in the
joint research of INBio and the national firms Laboratorios Vaco and Laboratorios
La Gavilana will be validated and confirmed in their semi-commercial scale
installations (upscaling). With this, the business executives are assured that
they will not be investing in semi-commercial scale equipment without having
confirmed the potential from their laboratory research.
– Negotiations were conducted with the companies RIMAC S. A. and FLOREX
regarding a search for natural elements that will allow the development of more
sustainable processes and environmentally-friendly products that simultaneously
generate added value.

Bioliteracy
The main objective of this element is to improve capacity for information processing,
integration and transfer to different target publics regarding the priority themes.
Creation of the Education Unit
Bioliteracy is one of INBio’s fundamental principles. During 2009, several environmental
education processes were emphasized. The decision was also made to reinforce the work
team with the creation of the Education Unit.
Inauguration of four new educational exhibits in INBioparque:
The renovation and development of exhibits in INBioparque offers visitors options to
learn interactively and become aware of topics regarding biodiversity and its sustainable
use. For 2009, the following were inaugurated:
– Hydroponics Station: The purpose is to show visitors a new kind of highly efficient
gardening that achieves greater productivity and higher quality at lower cost.
Tomatoes, lettuce and other products are grown at this station and people can buy
them. Courses on hydroponics are also given.
17
2009
Annual Report
– Fungi Station: The purpose is to demonstrate the production and use of fungi.
It also allows INBio to strengthen its research for promoting the cultivation of
fungi, new native species as well as commercially-known species. The initiative is
supported by a South-South project for the countries of Benin, Bhutan and Costa
Rica, funded by the Kingdom of the Netherlands and implemented through the
Fundecooperación for Sustainable Development.
– Self-sufficient House: In this house, sunlight is used to heat water and cook,
rainwater is captured and filtered (it is also potable) and food is grown in a
hydroponic garden. This exhibit shows visitors that a home can be self-sufficient
using renewable alternative energy, recycling waste materials and using the
advantages offered by nature, among others. This project, carried out jointly with
the National Power and Light Company (CNFL), shows more than 12 sustainable
techniques that families can implement at home.
– Exhibit and video about climate change: Its purpose is to teach what climate change
is and what specific actions can be taken to mitigate it in an easily understood
way. Entitled “Climate change: causes and consequences”, this hall includes threedimensional figures such as polar bears and penguins, photographs and scientific
data of the effects of climate change on the planet. It also incorporates a video
that alerts visitors about how thousands of Costa Rican species could disappear
if manmade climate change continues, as well as the effects this would have on
18
Annual Report
2009
the wellbeing of people. The exhibit was produced thanks to support from the
government of the United Kingdom.
Use of information and communication technologies for
bioliteracy:
In our actions to explore different mechanisms for promulgating bioliteracy, we often
resorted to the use of information and communication technologies; in 2009 these were
centered on:
– Starting the renovation of the institutional Web page with high standards of quality
that will allow the user to easily access an interactive site.
– The publication of books and articles in digital format.
– Incorporation of INBio into social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube
and Wikipedia.
Diversification of the educational offering:
Over the years, INBio has been developing bioliteracy activities in which large numbers of
people from many disciplines participate for different purposes. For this, the institution
prepares programs that allow it to meet the needs identified and incorporate, together
with its allies, actions that give those programs more impact. Below, some of the new
achievements attained in 2009 are mentioned:
19
2009
Annual Report
– INBio was accredited by the National Learning Institute (INA) to give the Course
for Local Naturalist Guides, endorsed by the Costa Rican Tourism Institute (ICT).
– Executed the Environmental Education Program for the Río Frío Basin, whose
purpose is to introduce teachers and students from the area’s educational centers
to the biodiversity that surrounds them, with special emphasis on the theme of
wetlands and their importance for the equilibrium of this ecosystem as well as for
the wellbeing of the communities.
– Created the Diverciencia Program, a new educational application that will allow
the development of activities on the environmental theme, in alignment with the
programs of the Ministry of Public Education (MEP) and adjusted to the particular
characteristics of each zone or locality.
The impact of these and other actions are reflected in the number of people who
were exposed to or participated in bioliteracy processes during the year, which totaled
approximately 150,000:
– Nearly 20,000 examples of outreach products about Central America distributed
in the region.
– Nearly 118 inquiries addressed on the askinbio web site.
– Around 10,253 people from different countries and communities of Costa Rica
participated in courses, workshops, talks, congresses and fairs (on themes such as
ecotourism, cultivation of fungi, rearing insects, bio-achievements, conservation,
and others).

Presence in communication media and access to Web site:
The press has been one of the most effective means used by INBio for informing society
about conservation and environmental topics and carrying out its bioliteracy mission.
Likewise, tools such as the Web page are a frequently used means of accessing knowledge
generated by the institution. Both instruments allow a large number of people to become
informed and learn about biodiversity and its sustainable use. The results obtained for
2009 were:
22
Annual Report
2009
– An increase of 47% over 2008 in the number of informative notes published
in the press about INBio’s endeavors (a total of 498 notes in print media, on
radio and television, national as well as foreign). One noteworthy activity has
been the permanent presence of publications in the El Financiero magazine and
our relationship with the Channel 11 news “La Escuelita” television program to
address frequent inquiries about biodiversity made by the viewers.
– There were 118,399 hits on the INBio Web site made by 71,039 different users
from 147 countries.
Integral program of environmentally- sustainable practices in
the institution’s work:
As part of its values and principles, INBio has been developing a series of internal practices
for the efficient use and administration of resources such as water, electricity, vehicle
fleet and sound solid waste management. Some of these practices are shared with the
general public in the bioliteracy programs, mainly through the Self-sufficient House in
INBioparque. Some of these efforts also involved preparing the action plans for obtaining
Ecological Blue Flag, Carbon Neutrality and Sustainable Tourism certifications. The
measurement of indicators and the preparation of the documents required for attaining
these certifications were initiated in 2009.

Annual Report
Involvement in decision making
The main objective of this element is to improve INBio’s capacity for processing and
transferring information to support the formulation of policies and decision making.
Standards, commissions and various entities:
The institution supported processes for discussing and preparing standards related to the
administration of biodiversity and natural capital, in conjunction with MINAET–SINAC,
the Assembly Legislative and other entities. This included:
– Drafting the Law for Protected Areas
– Evaluation of proposals for modifying legislation regarding incentives for Science
and Technology and analysis of changes to the Law for the Development Banking
System.
Moreover, the participation and technical assistance given to commissions and specific
work groups allowed the institute to support decision making and also kept it up to
date in different themes, in both national and international contexts. Some examples
of the initiatives and commissions to which INBio provided technical assistance or had
representation in 2009 are:

Enterprise management
Enterprise management is an element that INBio has been strengthening since the second
semester of 2008, through specific actions and the positing of concrete goals in the
institutional strategic plan.
It was decided that INBio’s knowledge would be made available to different sectors of the
population, specifically for projects that are meant to improve the management of natural
capital and stimulate enterprise development based on the sustainable use of biodiversity.
It is hoped that this technical assistance will also contribute to the financial sustainability
of the institute and help with continuing processes for knowledge generation, processing
and transfer.
New steps toward consolidation
In its first steps, the Directorate of Enterprise Management was consolidated in 2009. Its
responsibility is to oversee the achievement of the proposed objectives and also includes
external negotiations and actions for strengthening an internal culture aimed at innovation
and entrepreneurship.
Another determinant action was the decision to create the Bio-innovation Center, as an
affiliate of INBio that will accompany and stimulate enterprising ideas for bio-businesses
with a high degree of innovation, from the harnessing of initiatives to their acceleration
27
2009
Annual Report
(access to sources of financing and upscaling). During 2009 progress was made on the
legal and constitutive aspects of this new entity.
This year an advisory process was consolidated as an additional entrepreneurial unit
within INBio. Despite the difficult global economic situation, homogeneous growth was
recorded in the demand for technical assistance and training services that the institute
offers.
This led to the decision to strengthen this area and work on a strategy that will allow
concentrating efforts on products and services of high impact for the institutional mission,
which will be sufficiently competitive so as to generate financial income that can be
reinvested in the operation of scientific and technical processes. This involves a change
in some work areas, promoting participation and innovation, improving the efficiency of
internal processes and better channeling the demand for services.
Editorial INBio, INBioparque, Bioprospecting and
Consultancies
The roles played by the Editorial, INBioparque, Bioprospecting and SAU Consultancies
allow INBio to process and share the information in different formats and contribute
to initiatives that seek sustainable biodiversity management and the development of
environmentally-responsible actions. These units provide approximately 70% of the
institution’s financial income, which is used to maintain the different processes for the
fulfillment of its mission.
28
Annual Report
2009
For 2009, these were some of the results that are associated with indicators for the
strengthening of enterprise management:
- Editorial INBio increased its income from the sale of publications and services by
more than 100% over 2008 levels.
- INBioparque increased its income by 2% over 2008 levels.
- Bioprospecting increased its income by 36% over 2008.
- Consultancies were strengthened, increasing income by 52% over 2008. INBio
negotiated nearly $800,000 for consultancies.
29
2009
Annual Report
Institutional strengthening
Despite the international financial crisis and thanks to its organizational culture, INBio
maintained institutional stability in labor aspects (183 staff members) as well as in its
programs and projects. Likewise, it managed to renegotiate some of its liabilities with the
commercial bank and confront substantial changes at the managerial level.
The main initiatives the institution developed in 2009 in this field were:
Development of an organizational culture that contemplates
enterprise management and technical capacity-building:
- An assessment of the internal situation was prepared as an input for the development
of a plan that will help expand INBio’s capacity for innovation.
- Processes to strengthen the information mechanisms used to determine the costs
of products and services supplied by INBio were initiated.
- Continuity was given to processes for strengthening technical capacities, mainly
through exchanges and negotiations with other institutions and allies.

2009
Improvement of tools, processes and resources that support
the institution’s work:
- Measures were implemented to improve efficiency in institutional management
related to internal communication, holistic vision processes, a culture of savings
and the sound management of resources.
- Computer information systems were developed to support internal tasks regarding
human capital, consultancies and follow-up on the network of relations, among
others.
- Periodic checks were made of antivirus protection, updates and monitoring of the
information network, servers and equipment.
Internal communication, strengthening of values and
attitudes:
Two specific achievements for 2009 that we are emphasizing are:
– Implementation of the Intranet, which allows periodic updating of INBio staff on
internal administrative topics, projects underway, news, institutional events and
other issues of interest. This tool also allows us to hold opinion forums and make
surveys.
– Development of a campaign to promote best practices for environmental
sustainability among staff, within and outside the institution.

Administrative processes:
The sound execution of INBio’s different administrative processes is reflected in the
achievements made during 2009 as noted in this report and in an audit report that was
100% positive. Furthermore, for this year:
- We continued with the succession process at the managerial level, with a special
emphasis on the General Directorate.
- Given the global economic situation and the change in the mechanisms for accessing
funds, detailed oversight was given to the financial sustainability strategy. In this
process, the support of INBio’s Board of Directors and advisors on the theme was
strategic.
- The volunteer program developed at INBio filled the equivalent of 12 positions in
the year.
- Continuity was given to the health and occupational safety program with the
creation of brigades, development of plans and training.
Strategic alliances:
Since its beginning 20 years ago, INBio has always felt that the best way to make its
proposed goals become a reality is in alliance with other institutions, businesses and
people. To obtain results with national and international impact, forces from diverse
fields, experiences and disciplines must be brought together. In this way, year after year,
the strategic alliances and the strengthening of the network of collaborators have been a
constant in the institution’s work.
