BIO 128: Global Ecosystems - Costa Rica

Instructor: Dr. Lawrence Tanner

As tourists have grown tired of crowded beaches and commercialized resorts, which often accompany popular vacation spots, the interest in unaltered, environmental attractions has risen greatly, with Costa Rica at the forefront of the ecotourism industry.
