The Degradation of Forest Ecosystems in Costa Rica and the Implementation of Key Conservation Strategies Dana Rodwin Connecticut College* *Completed through the Environmental Studies Department 1 Introduction Biodiversity is defined as the “variability among living organisms… [including] diversity within species, between species, and of ecosystems” (CBD 1992). Many of the world’s most biodiverse ecosystems are found in the tropics (Brown 2014a). The country of Costa Rica, which is nestled within the tropics of Central America, is no exception. Costa Rica is home to approximately 500,000 different species, which include mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, invertebrates, and plants. Though Costa Rica’s land area accounts for only 0.03 percent of the earth’s surface, its species account for almost 6% of the world’s biodiversity (Embajada de Costa Rica), demonstrating the high density of biodiversity in this small country.

  • Costa Rica & Panama
    COSTA RICA & PANAMA PANAMA CANAL: A MARVEL OF ENGINEERING ENSCONCED IN WILDNESS DISCOVER GUANACASTE ON A WINTER ESCAPE PLUS—EXTEND YOUR STAY IN PANAMA CITY ABOARD NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC QUEST | 2021-2022 Dear Traveler, If the Panama Canal were no more than its series of locks, it would still stand as one of man’s most impressive achievements. On their own the locks—which began operation over 100 years ago, ushering in a new era of global commerce—are well worth a visit. However, the canal is also full of 48 miles of incredible wildness. Its rich biodiversity and lush rainforest surprise some travelers who expect only to find steel and concrete. Our two-day transit of the canal is unique, as is our ship. We see the workings of the locks by day and then dramatically lit in the coolness of night. Our ship, National Geographic Quest, is the perfect height to observe the lock mechanisms at eye-level. In fact, the ship gets so close to the locks that we can hear the workers casually chatting back and forth as they lead us through. We also have time to experience the wildness of the Canal Zone. We’ll climb to treetop platforms to get a look at the jungle from a new perspective, Zodiac cruise to islands where monkeys clamber along the shore as we approach, or go for a refreshing swim in serene waterfall pools. Then, we’ll leave the man-made behind, to explore the spectacularly wild stretches of Costa Rica and Panama. We’ll snorkel, swim, pad- dleboard, and kayak along the shores of secluded islands.

  • High Altitude Cloud Forest: a Suitable Habitat for Sloths?
    High altitude cloud forest: a suitable habitat for sloths? Wouter Meijboom Cloudbridge Nature Reserve October 3th, 2013 2 High altitude cloud forest: a suitable habitat for sloths? A field research on the suitability of a high altitude cloud forest in Costa Rica as a habitat for sloths. Student: Wouter Meijboom Organisation: Cloudbridge Nature Reserve External technical coach: Tom Gode University of applied science: Van Hall Larenstein Major coordinator and internal coach: Jaap de Vletter Date: October 3th, 2013 3 Abstract Protected areas play an important role in the conservation of biodiversity worldwide (Bruner, Gullison, Rice and da Fonseca 2000). Sloths (Bradypus variegatus and Choloepus hoffmanni) play a meaningful role in the ecosystems of the tropical forests of Costa Rica. This research focuses on Cloudbridge Nature Reserve (Cloudbridge NR), a protected area of 250 hectare tropical forest in South Central Costa Rica. The management of Cloudbridge NR wants to get back to the original state of the forest. Sloths used to live in and around Cloudbridge NR, but are not seen nowadays. That is why there is a wish to get sloths back in the area of Cloudbridge NR. This research is designed to investigate the possibilities for sloths to live again in Cloudbridge NR. The research question to investigate this is: Can Cloudbridge NR sustain an independent and healthy population of sloths? The methodology of this research consists of in depth interviews, literature reviews and a tree inventory using plots. Interviews and the literature study are used to identify the preferences of sloths and the possible threats to sloths. The interviews are also used to investigate the situation in the past, regarding to sloths in and around Cloudbridge NR.

  • Costa Rica‟S Actions on IAS
    1 Bioinvasion and Global Environmental Governance: The Transnational Policy Network on Invasive Alien Species Costa Rica‟s Actions on IAS Description8 Costa Rica, sandwiched between Nicaragua to the north and Panama to the south, is a democratic republic of approximately 4.2 million people. It is also one of Central America‟s most unique nation states for having gained its independence early (1838), maintaining a relatively peaceful history, and abolishing its military at the end of a civil war (1948). Recently, Costa Rica has made headlines by proclaiming its intention of being a carbon-neutral state by the year 2021, a highly ambitious scheme by global standards. To achieve this goal, Costa Rica‟s government intends to “clean up its fossil fuel-fired power plants, promote hybrid vehicles and increase tree planting to balance its emissions.”1 Costa Rica benefits from having a 1,290 km coastline along the Pacific. Its chief imports are petroleum and alcoholic beverages, while its exports include various agricultural produce, as well as electronics. It‟s tourism industry is also a pillar of its economy. Its top trading partners are the United States, China, Mexico, and the Netherlands. Its chief biological exports consist of bananas, pineapples, coffee, and seafood. Despite increased livestock production over the past two decades, most of it is intended for local consumption. Unfortunately, despite its world class environmental policies2, Costa Rica has experienced a peculiar absence of activities geared towards counteracting the effects of IAS. As of November 2006, Costa Rica has reported no national action plan to combat IAS, and has declared in its national report to the CBD the lack of any major public discussion of the issue on the domestic scene.3 Overview of Biodiversity Costa Rica has a large diversity of ecosystems grouped into the following categories: forests, wetlands, marine areas and agricultural areas.

  • Ecotourism's Role in Positive Land-Use and Land-Cover
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Earth and Mineral Sciences ECOTOURISM’S ROLE IN POSITIVE LAND-USE AND LAND-COVER CHANGE IN A COSTA RICAN TROPICAL MONTANE CLOUD FOREST A Thesis in Geography by John L. Morrow ©2010 John L. Morrow Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science MAY 2010 The thesis of John L. Morrow was reviewed and approved* by the following: Deryck W. Holdsworth Professor of Geography Thesis Advisor Brian H. King Assistant Professor of Geography Karl S. Zimmerer Professor of Geography Head of the Department of Geography *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT Ecotourism’s Role in Positive Land-Use and Land-Cover Change in a Costa Rican Tropical Montane Cloud Forest Tropical Montane Cloud Forests (TMCFs) are among the most fragile and biologically diverse of all ecosystems on Earth. However, little is known about TMCF cover change for periods longer than 30 years at local scales. The purpose of this study is to explain and estimate TMCF cover changes for a 65-year period of time beginning in 1941, in a small, steep-sloping, montane environment located in the upper Savegre River watershed in both Dota and Pérez Zeledón counties, San José Province, Costa Rica. Thus, this study investigates how global and national drivers shape local land-use and land-cover change (LULCC) on the basis of retrospective monitoring – by interpreting historical sets of aerial photographs (1941, 1956, 1969, 1973, 1984, 1992, 1997) and a satellite image (2006) – in combination with ground data collected in 1996, 2001, and 2009.

  • The Costa Rican Ecological Corridor and Wildlife Connectivity Project Part III
    ENVS 4520: Advanced GIS Project: Part 3 The Costa Rican Ecological Corridor and Wildlife Connectivity Project Part III: Understanding Animal Movement Prepared for Tannaz Zargarian and Justin Podur Proposal Due Date: April 30 , 2015 Presented by: Paola DiCarlo Brian Pitonak Charlaine Pereira Aditi Gupta York University This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License ENVS 4520: Advanced GIS Project: Part 3 Introduction: The Alexander Skutch Biological Corridor located in Costa Rica is home to a region possessing one of the “richest concentrations of species and ecosystem diversity in the world” ​ (Miller, Chang & Johnson 2001, p.7). The area, once teeming with wildlife and greenery, has been subjected to human encroachment and development. The increasing presence of human beings within the corridor has fragmented the area and made it difficult for wildlife to function naturally in their habitats. Because there is so much importance placed on species biodiversity, especially in an area as unique as the biological corridor, conservation measures are being taken to maintain the land. The corridor includes many “fragmentation­sensitive species for which corridors are likely” (Beier & Noss, 1998, p. 1242), necessary for their survival. However, since protection of the corridor has not been completely successful, our research will study what effect fragmentation has had on the wildlife currently residing in the area and how human development has affected their movement and home ranges. The Alexander Skutch Biological Corridor acts as a passageway for wildlife to move from Las Nubes to Los Cusingos. With the construction of roads and modification of the land for agriculture and human development, the connectivity of the landscape has been disrupted.
