Costa rica protects of its total territory in national parks

While much of Costa Rica has been stripped of its forests, the country has managed to protect a larger proportion of its land than any other country in the world through the formation of National Parks. In 1970 there came a growing acknowledgment that something unique and lovely was vanishing, and a systematic effort was begun to save what was left of the wilderness. That year, the Costa Ricans formed a national park system that has won worldwide admiration with roughly 25% of its’ land mass being under some form of protection today.  Throughout the country, representative sections of all the major habitats and ecosystems are protected for tomorrow’s generations. The National Conservation Areas System (SINAC) protects more than 186 areas, including approximately 32 national parks, 8 biological reserves, 13 forest reserves, and 51 wildlife refuges.

Near Uvita, along the southern pacific coast of Costa Rica, is the Osa Area of Conservation.  Starting from Dominical and stretching to Punta Burica along the Costa Rica – Panama border, the area is host to 3 National Parks, 1 Biological Reserve, a variety of Mixed Wild-Life Reserves, 1 State Wild Life Refuge, 1 Wetland Reserve and 5 Indigenous Reserves for a total of 161,823 terrestrial hectares and 11,400 marine hectares under protection in Osa, Costa Rica.
