Costa Rica: The Rise of Nature

The dry forest, which once covered the entire Pacific coast of Central America, now exists only as isolated "vestiges". In Costa Rica, however, it has been revived and even expanded thanks to the efforts of biologists and the local population.

From the Corcovado National Park, described by National Geographic as "the most biodiverse site on the planet", researchers and conservationists follow the so-called "green corridors" in search of key species.

Costa Rica is home to some of the richest marine ecosystems in the world. Biologists and conservationists have undertaken a real race against time to better understand marine ecosystems and protect them.
