Discovering Costa Rica: Nature and Biodiversity
The experience:
Join us in discovering why a small country, which occupies only 0.03% of the planet's surface, houses more than 5% of the world's biodiversity. In this talk, we invite you to explore Costa Rica from a comprehensive perspective where nature and culture intertwine.
Our experience will begin with a glimpse into Costa Rican identity: discover what lies behind our famous “pura vida” philosophy, our vision of education, and the pride of being a nation without an army.
From there, we will delve deeper into the pillars that make this country a biodiverse paradise:
• The origin of the land: Learn about the geological forces that created the Central American land bridge and shaped our imposing Central Volcanic Mountain Range.
• Climate and evolution: Understand how contrasts in temperature and climate have driven the amazing evolution of our species across multiple ecosystems, from the dry forest to the paramo.
• Biodiversity in action: Marvel at the richness of Coco Island (World Heritage Site), the quetzals of our cloud forests, the jaguars of the South Pacific, and the turtles of the Caribbean.
• Sustainability and agriculture: We will explore our agroforestry systems and the country's pioneering role in conservation and renewable energy.
This talk will help you understand the delicate balance that makes us a global model of sustainability and one of the happiest countries in the world.
