The Osa Peninsula - Costa Rica's Wildest Forest | Plants of Costa Rica

[@Pho7on]

It's so sad to think of the diversity we've lost, but then we have pockets of life still largely untouched on earth. This is very uplifting.

[@bobm3477]

Largely untouched, unfortunately we are changing that. It's happening quickly

[@karenm5681]

What a gorgeous area, so full of life!

[@Avery-kk7ss]

I’m going there tomorrow on vacation! I’m very excited!

[@padego58]

That was fantastic!

[@sonorangreenman4472]

Fabulous! Thanks! that was well done

[@PamW-r5t]

Costa Rica is one of our favorite places to travel. We have been 3 times and have 1 more trip planned, can’t wait! Thank you for the video!

[@tinsley999]

This was great! Can hardly wait for more!

[@MyLoganTreks]

It's the Pacific Redwood Forest of Latin America, I'm glad it's preserved but better yet being discussed and having excellent content created. Engagement with the locals is the best way to build awareness of how amazing this place truly is.

[@evanmccarthy9500]

So excited for these new videos!

[@comfortablynumb9342]

That's where I went to live. I spent 9 years in Costa Rica and several of them were in Pavones, just across the Golfo Dulce from the Osa Peninsula. I really miss living there.

[@robertfaber6796]

You broaden my horizons with these wonderful videos.

Very cool Sam! I was in the Osa for my honeymoon July 2022. Next stop the Amazon?!? -Jonathan from Prov

[@CapzVerse]

When will the next episode of this series come out?

[@AmblingwithSam]

Tomorrow! I'm releasing one a month with these until I can get faster at editing, haha.

[@CapzVerse]

@@AmblingwithSam okay looking forward to the next one.

[@MrRalphdebie]

Can you please advise me on your quote 1 in 20 trees is yet to be described by scientists and where you get this data from? Thx

[@AmblingwithSam]

Sure! I got that one from The Forests of the Osa Peninsula (Karsten Thomsen, 1998). It's based on work Thomsen did for his PhD. It is an older statistic, and I'm curious if the number has changed, but unfortunately I wasn't able to find anything more recent. So if you happen to find anything newer, let me know!

[@jjamontero]

💯/💯👍

[@bobm3477]

One other issue with the Osa is the number of free running dogs. For the most part friendly as they happily walk with you on hikes but any wildlife is chased away. The barking also causes tension in the normal forest sounds. The wild animals have so little space left, why is this allowed to happen?

[@Cleeon]

Because the growing number of human birth

Hello! We'd love to connect with you about licensing some of your footage. What is a good email address to contact you? Thank you for your consideration!

[@AmblingwithSam]

Hi! Thanks for reaching out! I'd love to. From what I've seen, KZbin tends to auto-delete comments that have an email address in them, so would it work for me to contact you via the email on your website?

[@cornell_lab]

@@AmblingwithSam Fantastic! Yes, that would be great - please write Conservation Media in the subject. Looking forward to hearing form you.

[@MyLoganTreks]

I'm on board with a conservation project in Puerto Rico, I open it up for your educational content if you are ever wanting to make a few videos and trip there. Excellent content, I can't wait until you go viral. Be the change you want to see in this world and keep up the great work Sam! I definitely enjoyed watching this video. my first trip to this CR peninsula I was age 12. It was life changing awareness for the world around us. In college I met a CR ranger who worked in this forest studying the jaguars.

[@robertsteinberger5667]

but so expensive to stay at one of the cabins you need to pay a lot of money and you can not take your own food, you have to buy their food for a huge price as well. if someone has advice how to do it cheaper let me know.
