El Zota Biological Field Station Costa RicaBecause of the ecological richness and its importance as one part of the last areas of primary forest in Central America. Also this area supports the migration of species and avoids the decline of genetic variety inside populations that sometimes are affected by isolation in smaller protection areas.

El Zota station expects to play an important role in the biological corridor project that is taking place along the Carribean side.
