Overview
Costa Rica is famous for its rich natural resources. Volunteers from around the world come to experience Costa Rica's lush rain forests and rich biodiversity. In fact, Costa Rica is one of the more bio-diverse countries in the world and it is home to more than 500,000 different species, which represents nearly 4% of the total species estimated worldwide. Strict laws and NGOs help preserve this great natural oasis of which volunteers can be a great help.
