I had the good fortune to serve as a regular photographer for the Tropical Science Center and the Monteverde Preserve (Costa Rica) for several years, and to author the official photography book of the Preserve. Monteverde is a natural wonderland, with breathtaking scenery and staggering biodiversity, and it's an important model for tropical protected areas and scientific research.
