Costa Rica, the rise of nature

The first episode shows the wonders of the dry tropical forest in the northern Pacific of Costa Rica, the only remanent in the continent of this rare ecosystem. This forest, which once covered the entire Pacific coast of Central America, now exists only as isolated "vestiges". In Costa Rica, however, it has been revived and even expanded thanks to the efforts of biologists and the local population.

On the second episode you will embark on a journey from the Caribbean coast all the way to the South Pacific coast, exploring the biological corridors that connect the network of National Parks in the country. Volcanoes, rivers but overall protagonists like the wild pigs, which carry many responsibilities to keep the thin balance in nature distributing seeds and growing forests or becoming the base-diet for jaguars, amongst the many threats day face every day.

The fabulous natural heritage of a country which has become a sanctuary for global biodiversity thanks to an ambitious policy. The offshore waters attract hundreds of species (humpback whales, hammerhead sharks, sea turtles …) which meet there to mate and give birth to their offspring.
