Introduction to the History and Biodiversity of Costa Rica

The Instituto Nacional de Biodiversidad (INBioparque) is a non-government organization whose goal is to catalogue the biodiversity of Costa Rica. This enormous project started with cataloguing all the species of insects in Costa Rica, and has branched out to include plants and molluscs. INBioparque was developed as an answer to an increasing demand for information about the concept and importance of conserving biodiversity. INBioparque is an educational and recreational center where visitors can see samples of the biological diversity of Costa Rica, thus helping people understand the importance of preserving our biodiversity.
