Costa Rica’s most popular national park is switching up its hours. 

Any person who is in Costa Rica — adult or a minor, national or foreign — can file a criminal complaint to the authorities.

Topics will also include preventing pandemics such as COVID-19, which jumped from the animal world to man.

The summit will also launch the High Ambition Coalition -- a group of 45 countries led by Costa Rica, France and Britain.

The Public Security Ministry (MSP) says it will join forces with the Environment Ministry (MINAE) to help protect Costa Rica’s national parks from illegal activity.

Several countries -- including France and Costa Rica -- planned to launch the Coalition of Great Ambition for Nature and People, with the goal of protecting 30% of the Earth's natural spaces by 2030.

Andrea Meza, who has been director of climate change for the Costa Rican government since 2015, was appointed Tuesday as Environment Minister, replacing the outgoing Carlos Manuel Rodríguez.

Manuel Antonio National Park is popular for its beaches, abundance of wildlife and its relative proximity to San José. 

The Washington-based GEF was created before the 1992 Earth Summit as a multilateral trust fund that supports environmental action in developing countries.
