Home is Where the Heart is… and for Half a Million Species the Heart of the Costa Rican Rainforest is Where They Have Chosen to Call Home.

A rainforest so large that it now covers 75% of the country in its dense, verdant, and tropical ecosystem.  

But it wasn’t always like this. 

In fact, between 1950-1960 the percentage of forest cover decreased dramatically. And by 1987, only 21 percent of the country was covered in rainforest. Costa Rica was at the tipping point.
