This privately owned sanctuary protects several hectares of pristine primary forest and is equipped with bungalows, trails, rivers, and waterfalls, creating the perfect setting for immersive scientific research.
As part of KwF's Rainforest DeepData Expedition, you’ll contribute to groundbreaking bioacoustics projects, collecting critical sound data to develop a universal translator that decodes communication among sentinel species. This innovative tool will enable real-time monitoring and protection of rainforest wildlife, empowering conservation efforts in one of the world’s most vital ecosystems. Join us in exploring this remote and ecologically significant region, where your work will help safeguard tropical biodiversity and endangered species.
Isla del Caño
Located 20 km off the Osa Peninsula, Isla del Caño is a pristine biological reserve renowned for its crystal-clear waters and rich biodiversity. The island is a crucial habitat for marine life, including dolphins, manta rays, whales, and sea turtles, as well as vibrant coral reefs that support a diverse range of species. Its ecological importance lies in both its protection of marine ecosystems and its role as an archaeological site, making it a valuable destination for both conservation and cultural research.
