We
want you to enjoy your stay in Costa Rica, because you are
playing an important role in conserving its natural resourses.
Everytime you visit a national park, private nature reserve,
raft a river, or hike along a beach you are giving Costa Ricans
a practical incentive to preserve these areas.
Please
make every effort to have a minimal negative impact on the
natural and human environment that you encounter and to conserve
natural resourses both during your stay in Costa Rica and
when you return home. |
