Dear Friends,
It has been a busy few months in Área de Conservación Guanacaste (ACG) — which, admittedly, is something we could say almost any time we sit down to write one of these newsletters.
Since our last update, ACG insects have helped scientists dramatically rethink how many insect species there may be on Earth; a rather unassuming little rove beetle has helped us understand more about the effects of climate change; years of community science in Bahía Santa Elena have resulted in a new scientific publication; and more than 1,800 people came together to celebrate—and learn about—the ocean.
There is much more below, including a wonderful new profile of Dan Janzen and Winnie Hallwachs, a few newly named ACG residents, and some ways you can help.
As always, none of this happens without you. Your support makes possible the people, science, conservation and community work that keep ACG moving forward, and we are enormously grateful.
We hope you enjoy catching up with what has been happening in ACG!
With gratitude,
The GDFCF, ACG, and Bosque y Mar Team
