Lights Out: The Crucial Role of Dark Beaches in Sea Turtle Survival

Photography and Writing by Chris Jimenez

PUBLISHED AUGUST 2023, 15 MIN READ

The coasts of Costa Rica are caressed by two seas, the Pacific Ocean on the west, the Caribbean Sea to the east, and these stretch out in long, unbroken swaths of sand that dance with the rhythm of the waves. Here, between the rush of the ocean and the whisper of the beach, the stage is set.

Colombia Wild

Colombia is a country of colors, aromas, flavors, friendly people, and above all, lots of wildlife.

Colombia is truly unique in one respect: it is very, very rich in life forms. In fact, it is considered among the world’s four richest countries in biological diversity.
This means that there are probably more animal and plant species here than in any other country on the planet regardless of size.

Owls of Costa Rica

Since I started with wildlife photography, owls have fascinated me.

Just finding and observing these remarkable creatures during the night it’s pretty challenging, let alone to photograph them successfully.

Resplendent Quetzal and the Forest

If ever there existed an ultimate symbol of the beauty embodied by birds, the Resplendent Quetzal would certainly qualify

Rare, stunningly beautiful, elusive, and limited to the remote and mist-draped cloud forests of Central America, this bird, with its shimmering golden green and blood-red feathers.

Preface

I remember growing up surrounded by wildlife books and watching wildlife documentaries. The National Geographic show, and “El Hombre y la Tierra” (Spanish for The Man and the Earth) were on the TV every Saturday morning.
