This is jungle immersion!
The Bioarca resides in 140 acres of primary and secondary rainforest. Access is by trail. Most of the Bioarca is protected by us as a biosphere preserve for prime tapir habitat, while 10% is managed to supply food and habitat for tapirs, tayras and other mammals including ourselves and our guests.
The Peninsula is considered one of the most bio-diverse places on earth.
Take care of the sick!
117 species of amphibians and reptiles. 14 species reported with threatened populations and 6 are endangered, including four species of sea turtle.
Due to its unusual and early geographic history, the Osa hosts an astounding number of endemic species (species found no where else in the world).
Habitat Loss.
One of the primary threats to the Baird’s tapir is habitat loss and fragmentation due to deforestation and human encroachment. Rainforest destruction for agriculture, logging, and infrastructure development has greatly reduced their available habitat. Bioarca wants to mitigate that transforming the the soil to support a nonprofit permaculture farm producing organic fruits and vegetables to be shared with wildlife.
