The rainforest and cloudforest vegetation is so very lush and green. Among the towering trees, twisting vines, and fanning ferns, there are splashes of vibrant reds, pinks, yellows, and oranges. The heavy beads of moisture blanket the seemingly endless sea of vegetation.
Amid the trees and ferns, animals nest, hunt, and crawl. To the untrained eye they are nearly invisible, but to the trained guides they are easily detected. What a magical place this is.
Costa Rica has set aside rainforest areas by both private and public organizations. The concern is that many of the animals cannot travel between the protected areas through open areas. Some birds cannot fly farther than the length of a football field. Some mammals must have expansive forested areas to survive. Groups, including students, are joining together to reforest areas for biological corridors. These corridors will connect rainforest areas so that birds and other animals can travel from one forested area to another. Would you like to be apart of this vital quest? It is very possible for you to support this project.
