Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative: 

Casa Mila's owners are concerned about preserving the natural Atlantic forest.

They take care of the green areas and the natural spring on the pousada's property. They protect the beautiful native tree and flower species of the Atlantic rainforest and cultivate a gorgeous garden that attracts many birds.

They also help the local fishing community through donations to the local school and by hiring pousada employees from the community. The pousada offers their staff the opportunity to have a better life by training them for an occupation, improving their skills, and understanding how important it is to preserve the environment.
