Exotic
Costa Rica
Wildlife abounds there, from
toucans to astounding lizards
During a recent trip to Costa Rica, I found
myself constantly looking up to see the host of exotic
animals that reside in this beautiful country.
I spotted toucans -- even
the famous ``Froot Loops'' species -- monkeys, gorgeous
butterflies, poisonous frogs as small as an inch long and
more lizards and colorful birds than I could count.

Pacific Corridor Soon More Than Just Words
Two years after first being announced, a four-nation initiative to protect and
sustainably manage five Latin American archipelagos in the Pacific is finally
coming to fruition.
Representatives from Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Panama are to meet here
next month to put into operation the Pacific Biological Corridor, an initiative
that has been talked about since 2002, but whose action guidelines have yet to
be established.
The joint programme, first presented during the World Summit on Sustainable
Development, in Johannesburg, seeks to streamline and coordinate administrative
policies for the Galápagos (Ecuador), Coco (Costa Rica), Malpelo and Gorgona
(Colombia) and Coiba (Panama) islands of the eastern Pacific.
