A park whose flora and fauna are unkno ..... n and
uncataloged can be compared to an excellent li brary
whose books have no titles. no authors, and
no call numbers. This is one of the primary reasons
why Winnie HaJ1wachs. a graduate student from
Cornell Universit y, and I have been surveying the
moths of Costa Rica for the past four years. We
estim ate that there are some 9,000 moth species in
the cou ntry, most of them occurring in the national
parks and similar permanent reservs-the
locat ions of nearly all of our 23 intensive survey
sites. |
