Скачать или смотреть Ancient Cloud Forests of Costa Rica

In the chilly wet cloud forests of Costa Rica at 9200' (2800 m) elevation grows a massive, ancient conifer known as Pectinopotys (formerly Prumnopitys) standleyi, where it grows with Podocarpus costaricensis and massive oaks, with every tree covered in numerous species of orchids, bromeliads, ferns, mosses, liverworts and epiphytic blueberries.

if you're into habitats like this, hit up my friends at Iyok Ami in Central Costa Rica, email Bedrich (he looks like a cross between me and the Fratelli brother from Goonies that sings opera) at [email protected] for booking . Bedrich knows his plants and is a great dude. Finca Boryana is another great place that's nearby, run by a friend. Finca Boryana has Comarostaphylis and Oaks while Bedrich's Place at Iyok Ami has Pectinopotys standleyi and Podocarpus costaricensis.

Cerro Vueltas is another joint nearby that hosts guests and has some precious forest with trails. all these places are searchable on Google maps and they are all run by good people.

Your contributions support this content. It sounds cliché but it's true. Whether it's travel expenses, vehicle repair, or medical costs for urushiol poisoning (or rockfalls, bee-stings, hand slices, toxic sap, etc), your financial support allows this content to continue so the beauty of Earth's flora can be made accessible to the public, accompanied by a small dose of profanity and crude humor. At a time when so much is disappearing beneath the human footprint, CPBBD is willing to do whatever it takes to document these plant species and the ecological communities they are a part of before they're gone for good.
