Conservationists hope unmanned aerial vehicles can help fight illegal fishing in Costa Rica's Cocos Island National Park. Similar drones have been used in South Africa to fight rhino poaching in national parks there.
Costa Rican President Luis Guillermo Solís attended the signing ceremony, saying the planned geothermal projects “will not interfere with territory in national parks.” Instead, he said they involve “new technologies that permit the exploration and utilization of wells without damaging conservation areas.”
“Our national parks are under siege, some of the most pristine forests in Central America are being logged out, while exotic birds are being extracted,” says Belize’s ambassador to the U.S.
Raising awareness of mobility concerns, innovative design for wheelchairs and continuing efforts to make Costa Rica's national parks more accessible are poised to make the country’s national wonders available to people of all abilities and ages.
