Entwined in an endless embrace of beauty and mystery, it’s no wonder the explorers of National Geographic magazine named the Osa: “The most biologically intense place on Earth.”
Costa Rica is a small country representing just .01% of the Earth’s landmass; however, it is home to 5% of our planet’s biodiversity. Now, picture yourself in the Osa Peninsula where more than 1 in 40 of the world’s plant and animal species are concentrated right outside your door.
Facts about Costa Rica’s flora and fauna:
- National Parks and protected areas account for 25% of Costa Rica’s land mass
- Humpback whales migrate from both hemispheres to visit the Golfo Dulce with their calves
- 2,000 species of butterflies
- 850 varieties of birds
- 150 species of amphibians
- 219 species of reptiles
- 205 species of mammals
- 10,000+ species of plant life
- Four species of monkeys
- Four different species of endangered sea turtles
- Largest population of scarlet macaws north of the Equator
Botánika comes to fruition as a result of more than a decade of careful planning with an effort to minimize its impact on the land. Botánika’s landscape designers are giving back by working with local experts to replace non-native foliage with native species to re-establish migratory trails and enhance existing biological corridors – both on the ground and in the trees – so wildlife can flourish and make themselves at home here, too.
