Rainforests of the Cocobolo Nature Reserve

Cocobolo Nature Reserve covers over 1000 acres of primary and secondary lowland rainforest and harbors endangered wildlife such as ocelots, margays, crested curassows and harlequin frogs to name a few. Within the reserve are important headwaters of the Mamoni river.
 
The reserve is located at the narrowest stretch of Mesoamerica, and thus represents a vital piece of the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor, an ambitious project that aims to preserve a network of conservation regions extending from Mexico to Colombia.
 
Unsustainable use of land for farming is forcing farmers to push further into unprotected forests of the region. Within Cocobolo Nature Reserve is CREA’s field school where school groups and local communities participate in educational activities. In one area of the reserve CREA has set up an agricultural demonstration farm that shows ways in which agriculture can comply with local ecological systems. The purpose of Cocobolo Nature Reserve is to primarily protect habitat for biodiversity while aiding local communities to develop local solutions for specific agricultural practices that increase wildlife habitat, food production and protect remaining forests simultaneously.
