It is considered a very important piece in the extensivesystem of national parks and biological reserves in the country. Biological diversity is amazing. National Geographic has called it "the most intense in the world,biologically speaking" and it is estimated that anywhere in the world (that has a similar extension) hostel greater biodiversity.
A unique == park preserves the largestprimary forest American Pacific, along with one of the few remaining sizable tropical rainforest in the world. Cutting is usually carried out in the forest because it is anaccessible and valuable trees containing large. However, these habitats are the richest, biologically speaking. So, even though about half of the tropical rain forestsof the earth are still standing, the remainder of these is often not enough to sustain the original biodiversity. In particular, large animals require a large habitat.Flora and fauna
Corcovado has an unusual level of biodiversity is not exceeded by any similar sized area on the planet. The area includes 25 to 30 ecosystems that arehome to the largest populations of species like the jaguar, puma, peccary and tapir in Costa Rica. The park protects an important maritime extension (almost 54km ²)which develops a wide variety of marine life, have been found east of the park there is a breeding area for humpback whales that come from both the North and South.
