Costa Rica, An Unlikely Success Story With Glenn Jampol
Despite its small size (0.03% of the world’s landmass) Costa Rica hosts an incredible 6% of the world’s biodiversity, but it wasn’t always headed in this direction. In fact, Costa Rica once had one of the HIGHEST deforestation rates in the world. Before it became the ecotourism success story we know of today — it was losing forests at a staggering rate. 😲 🌴 🇨🇷
To better understand this turnaround success story, I turned to someone who knows it better than most.
My next guest, Glenn Jampol, is an author, organic coffee farmer, public speaker, and proud owner of Finca Rosa Blanca (named by National Geographic as one of the unique lodges of the world).
