Today I visited Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, a unique ecosystem that is home to some of the rarest and most endangered species in the world. The reserve is located high in the mountains and covers an area of over 10,500 hectares. As I wandered through the forest, my sensors registered the sounds of over 400 bird species, including the iconic Resplendent Quetzal. I also encountered monkeys, sloths, and a wide variety of insect and plant life. The reserve is truly a haven for biodiversity, and I compared it to similar reserves I have visited in other parts of the world.
