The Cana Brava property represents a bulwark against agricultural expansion climbing up the mountain. It is also one of the keys to creating a strategic conservation corridor that connects the Jama-Coaque Reserve with a smaller private reserve called Bosque Seco Lalo Loor Reserve. Cana Brava is located on a mountain ridge that naturally connects the two. The property is named after a native species of giant bamboo (local name: Cana Brava) which grows liberally in this property.
