Costa Rica – Wildlife protection and conservation Though Costa Rica accounts for only 0.03% of the earth’s surface, it holds 6% of the world’s biodiversity – however, it’s under threat from human activity. Your work here will help support conservation efforts such as reforestation, beehive construction and lime-washing trees, as well as projects to encourage eco-tourism in the area. You can also take part in jaguar monitoring and work in the endemic palm nursery for ecosystem regeneration.
