Costa Rica
is a small
country located between Nicaraguaand Panamaon the tropical
southern end of Central America. Having a
land area equivalent in size to West Virginia its plant and
animal species exceed by far the diversity throughout all of North America. Over 200
species of mammals, 850 species of birds, and over 10,000 species of plants are
known to reside here with more being added to the list every day. The fact that
over 20% of the nations land is protected as either park or preserve reflects
the overall high degree of importance that the people and their government place
on the health of their environment.
Along with
being the most environmentally oriented nation in Central America,
Costa Ricaalso prides
itself in being one of the safest places of foreign travel. A relatively well
developed infrastructure has kept land and money more evenly distributed, crime
rates low, and the quality of living higher than any other country in this
region. In 1949 Costa Ricadisbanded its
national standing army and in doing so was able to direct a much greater amount
of money towards education. Today Costa Ricahas a higher
rate of literacy than the United Statesand boasts that
its society produces more teachers than soldiers.
In an effort to further a positive impact
on the local economy and environment, CrystalSeasfunds, organizes
and carries out regular waste removal from
several of Costa
Rica’s public
beaches.
