Costa Rica National Parks and Biological Corridors

Costa Rica contains more than 30 national parks and maintains about 25% of the country. The system of their national parks, modeled after the Canadian and the United States, shows their intention to be an environmentally friendly country.

If there is a problem with the park system, then they exist as biological islands and isolated from each other. This causes survival problems with species that depend on a variety of genetic genes to maintain stable populations. An example of this is the Corcovado National Park, located on the tip of the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica. Corcovado National Park is one of the most biologically intimate places on the planet. Yet it is isolated from the Piedras Blancas National Park, which lies on the north continent. Large cat types, such as Jaguars and Pumas, that live in the park, require a variety of healthy genetic resources to maintain healthy populations and thus their isolation. These studies are currently underway in order to determine the effects of this containment, but it can only be concluded that the results are encouraging.

However, there are private and public organizations working to build biological corridors to ensure that animals are parked out of the park as easy as tourists. The biological corridors from native plants (shrubs, trees, grasses, etc.) stand and are designed to mimic the original environment in the hope that animals can feel safe and secure. The national airline, Nature Air, helps corridor projects and helped protect the 500-acre forest on the Osean Peninsula.

Many Costa Rican ecologists are involved in the corridor or other nature conservation projects. Many castles are also involved in the same important social projects.

Before you travel, you are doing a little research to help find accommodations and businesses that contribute to a percentage of your money for environmental or social reasons.
