The COBIGA Biological Corridor
New lifelines for the rainforest
The La Gamba Biological Corridor (COBIGA) in southern Costa Rica creates new habitat for animals and plants and protects biodiversity in the Austrians’ Rainforest.
This project contributes to climate protection by reforesting agricultural fallow land with native tree species, or by protecting existing rainforest areas outside the national park and using them as buffer zones for Piedras Blancas National Park.
These areas become part of the La Gamba Biological Corridor, which connects the lowland rainforests of the Golfo Dulce with the mountain rainforests of the Fila Cal and, beyond that, with the forests of the Cordillera Talamanca.
The La Gamba Biological Corridor is part of the organization “Biological Corridors of Costa Rica”.
