At the biological crossroads of the Americas, Costa Rica hosts an astonishing array of plants and animals—over half a million species!

All of the accounts include beautiful photographs of the birds, most of which were taken in the wild by Henderson.

Wild Costa Rica by Adrian Hepworth Pdf

The small Central American country of Costa Rica--less than one-eighth the size of California--boasts the highest density of plant and animal species in the world. Its wild and rugged landscapes include dense rainforests where jaguars roam, a volcano that spews rivers of molten lava, and beaches as unspoiled as they were when Christopher Columbus first anchored his ships off the Caribbean coast in 1502. Costa Rica's rich biodiversity is the result of a hugely varied topography that creates a wide range of natural habitats, and of the presence of animals and plants native to both North and South America.
