View lists of the diversity of species found at the Soltis Center and elsewhere in the Peñas Blancas watershed. The lists kept by the Soltis Center are far from being complete but are based on field observations and reports and do not necessarily respond to systematic collections. We invite students, researchers, and naturalists to review and improve the list of the species presented here.
The Soltis Center keeps on site a modest collection reference of insects and orchids. Insects are kept in entomological wood and glass boxes in A/C room and the orchid garden is live collection of some species found at the Center’s Forest.
In Costa Rica, most of the research is carried out by universities or non-governmental organizations, with hardly any participation of private sector or the government. Research done by the private sector is mostly oriented to computer and informatics technology and in some cases to engineering sciences.
