[Demo] Creating Micro-Climate Refugia by Connecting Ecosystems in Costa Rica
Site
AmistOsa - Talamanca Mountain Range
Reforestation Natural Forest Conservation 43,88 ha

Talamanca Mountain Range in the AmistOsa Biological Corridor (San Vito area).

Overview:

Not only does Costa Rica's forests support a vast amount of wildlife, it also provides ample exploration opportunities for locals and tourists alike to appreciate the wonders of the rich coast. Opportunity awaits to recover populations of endangered tree species, and create climate corridors for climate change biodiversity adaptation, while also introducing agroforestry methods to local communities.

Impact:

We are proud to be collaborating with wonderful partners that have started to lay the groundwork for a widespread citizen science network that will enable tropical species to maintain healthy populations and migrate to survive into future climates, while also generating basic scientific information for 120 species.

Tree species:

Our Costa Rica projects will focus on planting a variety of lowland trees (Pleodendron costarricense), highland trees (Almendro de Montaña, Roble encino), and even mangroves (Rhizophora mangle).
