Leatherback Park in Crisis

[Stephen Duplantier]

Oscar Arias's administration has sponsored a bill to downgrade the status of the Las Baulas Marine Park in Guanacaste. It might sound innocuous enough but it is a dangerous precedent to essentially destroy a national park. It's especially dangerous to the successful breeding of the endangered Leatherback turtles.

This would be a major blow to Costa Rica's image as a green destination. Find out more about it in this new 28 page Eco Bulletin I have just published.
