This tropical forest, covering 960 hectares of protected land, is home to many rare and endangered species. It is a vital sanctuary not only for the species that live there, but also protects essential water sources for the entire Nicoya region. Five local communities draw their water from this reserve, and the main rivers have their source here. Protecting this land is vital for conservation against cattle ranching, hunting and logging, which are major threats to the region.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:200,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">ASEPALECO&#8217;s mission is to protect, preserve and educate the public about natural forest systems.
