Biomes / Ecosystems of Costa Rica

Costa Rica is located in southern Central America, bordered by Nicaragua in the north and Panama in the southeast. The Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean form its eastern and southwestern coastlines. Its geography features coastal plains and rainforests separated by rugged mountains and volcanoes.

The Mesoamerican Biological Corridor (MBC) is a remarkable conservation initiative in Central America that stands as a beacon of biodiversity preservation. Stretching from Mexico to Panama, this corridor encompasses a mosaic of ecosystems and is a critical link between numerous national parks, reserves, and protected areas. The MBC is a testament to the growing global awareness of preserving biodiversity and ecosystems.
