Last update: 7 hours agoWildlife & Roads: Costa Rica’s lawmakers approved a rule requiring wildlife crossings for road projects when roads interrupt natural connectivity and threaten animals, with the National Environmental Technical Secretariat tasked to check plans early and, in some cases, push crossings on existing roads if new information shows they’re needed. Species Recovery: Osa Conservation moved 13 white-lipped peccaries across Golfo Dulce to Piedras Blancas National Park to restart a population wiped out by hunting, using a long, careful capture-and-soft-release effort and ongoing monitoring.

Climate & Water: Monteverde’s cloud forest is “dying of thirst” as warming lifts the cloud base higher, reducing mist and drying epiphytes that help hold moisture.
