Navigating the canals of the manatee
This is a joint conservation project which preserves a tropical rainforest reserve where several endangered species live, for instance, the Great Green Macaw and the Almendro tree. Within the reserve, there are lacustrine and palustrine wetlands, which are part of the habitat of the manatee. The 87-hectares project is located in Sarapiquí, Costa Rica. Families of the rural community where the project is located are deeply involved in this enterprise as producers and providers of sustainable goods and services.
