Thank you to the Tampa University students and the Monteverde Institute for a lovely visit at the Sustainability Demonstration Center!
These enthusiastic students came to receive a talk about water issues in Costa Rica. Water is such a precious resource for all living things and our planet - by learning and actively protecting our water resources, we can all contribute to the conservation of water.
They also got to visit with our rescue animals - we currently have two toucans who are in our large outdoor rehabilitation cage that has a large fruiting tree and provides them with natural vegetation and habitat.
They also enjoyed a delicious, home-cooked meals made by local women.
In addition to fun and food, the students also learned about the ongoing struggle of the townspeople to protect their rivers. They also got to experience the beauty and fun of the river firsthand... a highlight of the visit was definitely splashing and swimming in the river!
Thanks again for your visit! We welcome anyone who is interested in learning more about water issues and river protection or a dip in the river to stop by!
