    Corcovado National Park

    My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

    Squirrel monkeys are the rarest of the four monkey species found in Central America. Living in large troops they can often be seen running and chirping through the trees in a mass of commotion. Continued protection of the Corcovado National Park and the surrounding forest is required to maintain a healthy habitat for these and many other species of large mammals. Corcovado National Park has contributed significantly to my love of wildlife photography. After travelling through much of Central America, Corcovado sits as a pinnacle of biodiversity, revealing what much of the rainforest regions of Central America may have looked like prior to human interference.
