In this episode I’m joined by Andy Whitworth of Osa Conservation, an organisation which is busy rewilding Costa Rica’s ever wilder Osa Peninsula. Liberated from low productivity, highly damaging cattle ranching, much of western Costa Rica is returning to forest. On the Osa

Our Executive Director Andrew Whitworth was featured on the podcast #RewildingTheWorld w/ Ben Goldsmith. Listen to learn more about how rewilding #CostaRica is a clear next step to build #resilience & bring back keystone wildlife species, starting w/ the white-lipped peccary.

In the most recent episode of Rewilding the World I’m joined by Andy Whitworth of Osa Conservation, an organisation which is busy rewilding Costa Rica’s ever wilder Osa Peninsula. It’s an area where Andy and his team are focused on plans to reintroduce white-lipped peccaries,

We've equipped 19 Golden-Winged Warblers with nano-tags using the Motus system, allowing us to track their incredible journey. Huge thanks to our collaborators, Ernesto Carman, Paz A. Irola, and David Segura! 🙌 All handling and capture were conducted under ACLAP permits.

Prepare to be sniffed.  Camera trap footage from one of our trails shows this herd of Collared-Peccaries (Pecari tajacu). At the end you see mutual rubbing of scent glands which is a way of reinforcing group bonds.

Happy to inform you that Fondation Franklinia just opened a call for proposals covering EASTERN AFRICA. Feel free to share with your contacts working to conserve THREATENED TREE SPECIES in the region. Please read the guidelines carefully if interested; time is precious!

Our Mangrove Program plans on planting 256,000 trees over the next 2 years. Here is a brief overview of how the Mangrove team is taking on this challenge. Thanks for supporting our work! Salesforce One Tree Planted The Band Foundation  The Overbrook Foundation

This Agouti has a problem: there’s a very venomous fer-de-lance viper outside its den! At Osa Conservation we have an entire network of camera traps capturing the intense hidden world of wildlife on our conservation campus. Follow for more!

In the #WorldOceanDay I want to share some ideas: The ocean captures 90% of the excess heat caused by climate change. Marine protected areas are 🔑 to protect biodiversity.The @GEF has been a leader for ocean conservation for over 3 decades, investing around $3.1 billion.

As part of an AZH @zoologicalhort project Osa Conservation has documented new instances and subpopulations for near threatened #Magnolia poasana and vulnerable M. sororum. Next steps are more surveys and propagation trials to improve these species' germination success.

The Osa Peninsula rainforest in Costa Rica is abundant in plants and animals. It is a global biodiversity hotspot. And, there is nothing like walking in them with THE experts and scientists like Andy Withwoth Andrew Whitworth from Osa Conservation .

Six months of GPS tracking of a rehabilitated #ocelot in Costa Rica reveal how it adapted to a mixed forest-agriculture landscape. 🇨🇷 🔗 doi.org/10.3897/neotro… #neotropics

How a rescue center carefully rehabilitated an Ocelot & released it - without treating it like a pet in self-indulgent nonsense - & teamed with some field scientists to track what happened... #wildcat

A new study out by our team understanding what happens after an Ocelot is carefully rehabilitated and then released.
