Meet the jaguarundi seen on the @osaconservation campus. It’s 1 of the 6 cat species that live in Costa Rica 🇨🇷. While people rarely see them in person, our network of camera traps used for wildlife monitoring have helped us get a special glimpse into their secretive lives.

These photos are just 2 years apart. We planted these mangroves as seedlings in 2019. The 5 year old trees now tower almost 5 meters tall. Even better, seen in the third photo, they have started to produce their own seeds and the seedlings are growing.

Is it a ghost? Is it a ghoul? A spirit of the forest? No, it’s a Baird’s Tapir, or danta! They’re the largest land mammal in the forests here and a keystone species for the ecosystem. For how big they are, they are quite nimble and move quickly and quietly in the forest.

Prepare to be sniffed.  Camera trap footage from one of our trails shows this herd of Collared-Peccaries (Pecari tajacu). At the end you see mutual rubbing of scent glands which is a way of reinforcing group bonds.

This time, the Tropical Forest team embarked on an expedition in search of the endemic subspecies Magnolia sororum (subsp. lutea). Venturing into the field is crucial for acquiring meaningful information, enabling us to undertake sustainable conservation efforts.
