Listen now
Description
Happy Easter monday, chicos! I am especially proud of today's episode. I had the pleasure to talk to Elena Echandi, a biologist who has dedicated to study the behavior and thus save the howler monkeys in the coastal regions of Costa Rica. "Save the monkeys?" you might ask. Yes! There is a huge problem that causes hundreds of deaths and injuries each year; the main reason are electric shocks. Elena took the time to share with us: 🌎 insights of her work as a biologist for the organization "SalveMonos", 🌎 the tragic effects that growing tourism and the lack of seriousness of Costa Rica's laws has on wildlife and most important 🌎 what you can do to become active and fight with Elena and her colleagues to prevent more deaths.

What was the most important insight  that you  could take away today? And what can you do today to create a more  sustainable and fulfilling life? On Instagram @positive_globalimpact you  will get to know more sustainability hacks and get a better impression  of our life in Costa Rica. Also I'd love  for  you to share your  insights and thoughts with us either on Instagram  https://www.instagram.com/positive_globalimpact/ or write us an email to [email protected].
