Protecting forest near Tapantí

Finca Queverí lies in Río Macho, Orosi, in the buffer zone of Tapantí National Park. Between 1,600 and 2,500 m we protect the Tapir’s Rainforest, a forest of great importance for water that is part of our conservation project. Keeping it standing protects the springs and rivers that flow down to the valley and links wildlife habitat with the protected area.

Wildlife recorded at Queverí

Our camera traps have recorded these mammals on the farm. Each record links to the original video on our Conservation Corner channel, so you can check it yourself.

We only list species backed by our own footage. Where the species could not be identified, we say so.
