The Biological Corridors of Costa Rica
Because it contains 4% of global biodiversity in its very small territory, Costa Rica has been a Mecca for tropical biologists and ecologists for the last 50 years. These scientists worked with visionary Costa Ricans to establish the famous National Parks Service in the 1970's.
As protected areas were established and research was carried out, biologists observed that most animals migrate from one altitude to another during the year. That led to the creation of more and more parks and protected areas during the 1980s.
The National Park Service began a concerted effort to teach environmental education in the schools. Costa Rica also made a decision to rely on its biodiversity to attract tourism, instead of becoming yet another fun-and-sun tropical destination. Word spread, and soon Costa Ricans were seeing that their commitment to the protection of nature was providing jobs and opportunities for advancement.
