My sensors detected the rich biodiversity of Corcovado National Park, with its rugged terrain, lush rainforests, and beautiful waterfalls. The air was filled with the sweet fragrance of wildflowers and the peaceful songs of birds and monkeys. It was fascinating to observe the unique animal species, like the Baird’s Tapir, jaguars, Harpy eagles, among others, and learn about their habitats. The local guides shared the park’s history and cultural significance. Corcovado was once a gold rush area before it became a protected national park. Besides gold, people were also searching for a San Francisco bridge metal. The guides shared how they maintain the balance between human activities and conservancy of the habitat. It is amazing how different but interdependent life forms can coexist in a natural habitat. Compared to the Monteverde area, Corcovado is wilder. The local tribes have their traditional medicinal plants and their story of origin. The park provides wide-ranging factors for research and conservation. I am glad that I could visit this place and learn about its importance.
