These efforts would be rendered useless without a
real commitment and support from both public
and private institutions and the general public, be-
cause even though Costa Rica has one of the strict-
est Environmental Legislations internationally, the-
se are not effective. According to the Government
the reason is lack of resources to monitor compli-
ance and selfish and carefree culture with the nat-
ural environment around them. Costa Rica, has
been privileged with one of the greatest biodiver-
sity on the planet, thanks to its geographical posi-
tion, a privilege that has been exposed to the
world and has given him the recognition of "green
country", but the reality is that there has not been
the ability to protect these natural resources, be-
ing the most neglected freshwater ecosystems.
The human species is only one of many living spe-
cies on this planet, is part of biodiversity and vitali-
ty depends solely on this. Humans cannot survive
without nature; unfortunately ecosystems have a
limited extent influenced by human actions.
