What is a Biological Corridor?

Core areas and connectivity: alternatives for conservation and development

The Mesoamerican Biological Corridor

Biological corridors in Costa Rica

Why are BC Important?

Challenges Habitat fragmentation Deforestation (mangrows) Mass tourism Poor planning Genetic erosion Economy Environmental services

Field Activity Identify Challenges in Bell Bird Biological Corridor Identify Opportunities: sustainable development? What are you going to do to protect the natural resources of our country?

Biological Corridor Field Report What is Biological Corridor? What are the main components of BC? What is the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor? Is there are BC near your house? How is it called? Are you going to visit? Why are BC important? What are the main challenges being faced in BC? What are some opportunities for improving the functionality of BC? What changes can I make in my life in order to benefit the environment and protect the biodiversity of my country, i.e. consumption habits? Use pictures and written materials to produce this report Submit your report to LS teacher
