Biodiversity in Costa Ballena, Costa Rica Free Digital Magazine #96
Hello, dear audience, collaborators, and advertisers
We are pleased to support positive actions in this digital edition to safeguard the good health of our ecosystem in the South Pacific of Costa Rica. We celebrate that in our community, there is an increasing awareness of the need to take care of this little paradise that is our home.
Coral reefs are essential to maintaining marine biodiversity, and their loss would have catastrophic consequences for ecosystems and humanity.
Isabel Márquez and Soraya Damer, the young volunteers currently collaborating with our media, traveled to the Costa Rica Coral Reef Restoration organization's facilities to interview its leaders. This organization's work to restore coral reefs in the Ballena Marine Park is admirable and worthy of support.
On November 2, a brilliant musical concert was held at the El Tecal Hotel as part of the Clean Up 2024 event. Several local organizations participated in this event, which attracted hundreds of participants who collaborated in cleaning the beaches of Marino Ballena Park. Please read the article in this digital edition or on our blog.
A distinction of our ecosystem is the biodiversity it houses. The recovery of the population of species such as the jaguar in Corcovado Park is news to celebrate. Another news to celebrate is the discovery of a new bird species on Caño Island. Undoubtedly, the Costa Rica South Pacific is a must-see destination for birdwatchers. The location of the hotel Cristal Ballena between the tropical humid forest at the foothill of the Fila Costeña mountains and the Pacific coast gives an excellent mix for birdwatching of forest and marine birdlife.
In this edition, we include several articles about the fauna that our destination boasts and, as usual, valuable and exciting information.
Please read the article about Café Don Emilio and support this local enterprise by visiting their stand at the Bahía Ballena Market.
In the article about eco-friendly transportation options, Total Fleet, an initiative supported by Adobe Rent a Car, states that choosing the right vehicle is non-negotiable if you want to explore nature responsibly during your stay in Costa Ballena.
Dr. Alfaro from Bahìa Ballena Doctors writes about the power of genetics and its importance in modern medicine.
Dr. Christopher Pirie writes about divorce in Costa Rica and community property.
Digital connectivity is paramount to modern life, even in our remote paradise. However, Dr. Nicole Solano of the Vargas Medical Center in Plaza Alfaro writes about hyperconnectivity's risks to your well-being.
As 2024 comes to a close, the holiday spirit will soon be felt worldwide. Join our "Costa Ballena Lovers" events group to stay informed.
As usual, we encourage those visiting or living in our community to minimize their environmental footprint.
Pura Vida and Happy New Year 2025!
