"La Selva was originally established in 1954 by Dr. Leslie Holdridge, as a
farm dedicated to experimentation on mixed plantations for the improvement
of natural resources management. It was purchased in 1968 by the
Organization for Tropical Studies and declared a private biological
reserve and station. Since then, it has become one of the most important
sites in the world for research on tropical rain forest. Over 240
scientific papers are published yearly from research conducted at the
site."
