For the wildlife that inhabits the coastal regions of Costa Rica, it is a wasteland, barren of any life sustaining vegetation. While a natural rainforest ecosystem my feature hundreds, even thousands of species, Playa el Rey has been completely taken over by non native palms and grasses.The outcome of this restoration project will be to transform Playa el Rey into a fully functioning ecosystem teaming with wildlife. In addition it will serve as a vital biological corridor that will link Costa Rica's most visited national park, Manuel Antonio, to the Savegre River Valley, which is arguably has more biodiversity of any valley on the entire planet.  In these two video previews of the project you will see trees taken from a nursery on the edge of the Savegre River and transferred to the alien landscape at Playa el Rey.
