Jungle Waterfall Adventures in Costa Rica

02/01/2023

the road is crossing the forest.
we humans continue to invade and destroy wilderness areas for our greedy purposes, without giving thought to the wildlife that call the forests HOME.

Red-billed Pigeon - Patagioenas flavirostris
locals call this bird Paloma Morada - purple pigeon.
their population was severely reduced in our area, due to poaching.
so we launched a reproduction for re-introduction program .
within a few years we had a large group ready for release.
the released population flourished and is now quite plentiful on the Sanctuary.

one of the many species of wild turkeys found in Costa Rica ..., the Cracidae family.
they were extinct in our area due to heavy poaching. so we brought groups from other areas,
we bred a large group for release, and after a few years we released 20 of this species. they have thrived in the Sanctuary forests, and now are quote numerous.

plenty of wildlife calls the Sanctuary HOME. the Sanctuary is a private property of 25 acres (10 hectares) that has been in Conservation for over 40 years.
secondary and primary jungle - hardwoods & native fruit trees attract many animals and birds.
along the trail to the waterfall you will probably spot some of these beautiful animals. 😍

Thought for the Day

INTERNATIONAL LEOPARD DAY

"Her heart was wild,
but I didn't want to catch it.
I wanted to run with it,
to set mine free."

though critically threatened by heavy poaching in our area , sainos ( peccary ) often come back into our territory. they love broken ground , mountainous jungle. they dig up roots , and eat fallen fruits.
this fellow is probably a scout for a larger group. they usually travel in large packs.
a friend put up a motion-activated trail camera.
we were delighted to see the wildlife on the Sanctuary .

several friends have recently spotted a cougar up in the mountains of the national park.
also called Mountain Lion or Puma, their populations have been decimated by poachers and cattle ranchers.
