  • La Selva Biological Station ist eine Forschungsstation in Costa Rica mit einer geschützten Fläche von 1'600 ha tropischen Regenwalds. Sie ist in Besitz der (OTS), einem Non-Profit-Konsortium bestehend aus 63 Universitäten und Forschungseinrichtungen aus den USA, Lateinamerika und Australien. La Selva gilt als eine der produktivsten Feldforschungsstation für Tropenökologie weltweit, beherbergt etwa 300 Wissenschaftler jährlich und ist Veranstaltungsort für über 100 Kurse pro Jahr. Ziel der Forschungsstation ist es, einen intakten tropischen Regenwald zu erhalten, die Möglichkeit nachhaltiger Forschung und Ausbildung durch Bereitstellung von Laborplätzen und Unterkünften für Forscher und Studenten zu bieten, sowie die lokale Bevölkerung in Nachhaltigkeit und Naturschutz zu unterrichten. Zusätzlich ist La Selva Biological Station ein wichtiges Ziel für den Ökotourismus in Costa Rica. (de)

The primary goal of La Selva Biological Station is to preserve and protect an intact forest, as well as providing laboratory facilities for tropical research and education. The research potential of the area is not only vital to tropical ecology, but it is also an important location in the effort to study relations between local communities and protected areas. In addition, its high diversity and ease of access to the Puerto Viejo-Horquetas highway makes La Selva an important ecotourism destination and environmental education center for tourists and the local community.
