Character of the preserve
The preserve is located at the junction of several biozones. It consists of 80-85% primary forest, the rest being secondary forest. It has largely remained untouched by logging and agriculture. Based on information gleaned from our neighbors at the Alberto Brenes Biological Reserve (a research station affiliated with the University of Costa Rica), we have reasons to believe that the Nectandra forest is also unusually rich in flora and fauna.
