Preserving the Land in Costa Rica

A country located south of Nicaragua and west of Panama in Central America, COSTA RICA can celebrate its dedication to preserving the forested interior of the country for years to come. Costa Rica conserves its rainforests and vital ecosystems with many national parks and wildlife reserves. Even the Caribbean Sea coastline is dotted with several of these conservation efforts, including Parque Nacional (P.N.) Rincón de la Vieja, P.N. Barra del Colorado, P.N. Tortuguero, and P.N. Cahuita, and Gandoca-Manzanillo National Wildlife Refuge. There is a national park, P.N. Braulo Carrillo, located closely north of Costa Rica's capital, San José. Parque Internacional la Armistad is a large forested area that is also found in Panama. There are other conserved areas in Costa Rica that I have not listed.
