The Fight for Costa Rica



August 9, 2017 | Autumn Jackson




Increased levels of manufacturing and development continue to effects the biosphere and biodiversity of Earth. Similar to the issues among the Amazon, Costa Rica and its species are at great risk due to it being so vulnerable to climate change and economic disruption. Human activity contributes to global warming that allows Costa Rica to experience much more severe temperatures and weather situations than before. Addressing the issue at hand has been and will continue to be a challenge due to the majority of the population's decision to not protect their own planet.


How climate change has a relationship between species





For further validation about the argument made against climate change and its effects on biodiversity; scientists have used modeling strategies to prove an existing relationship. The use of bioclimatic models allows for the observation of organisms as a function of climate. This method uses statistics pre-established environmental factors to determine a specie's tolerance (Pearson and Dawson 2003). Furthermore, ecological forecasting uses various forms of science to estimate how ecosystems will respond to climate change.




How you can help





On behalf of Planet Rehab's Costa Rica Endangered Species Project I ask you to become more compassionate about the environment that houses us, nurtures us, and provides for us. This can be done by increasing your conservation and anti-pollution efforts or by joining us at planetrehab.org. Currently, Planet Rehab offers sponsorship options that allows for participation in our efforts to reforest, fund breeding programs for endangered species, habitat land acquirement, and more.


We view much of the Earth as a beautiful place and have tourists attractions such as Costa Rica to attest for that; however, the living and nonliving organisms of these beautiful places are really living in a home of destruction for what has been caused by human activity. There are 352 endangered species in Costa Rica listed on the Earth's Endangered Creatures website, and that is only approximate. What if this was us?
