Having spent all of yesterday, and the whole of last night wide awake investigating reports, policies and agreements between the Costa Rican Government, ICE and the Inter-American Development Bank, as well as seeking life experiences and research documentation from field scientists who have studied the steady decline of the Costa Rican wildlife, I can honestly say there is something BIG going on in that country. There is too little I have set down, so far, to give a full report, but my theories, based on the facts I have gathered have certainly opened my eyes to a few very unsettling things, which I will put out in a full report once I have all the facts, evidence and data together in one place (and in some circumstances translations from Spanish to English!)
Safe to say I am just a little on the tired side. This is by far the biggest investigation I have ever done on my own, and I know the risks involved in reporting on a subject that is so important to the Costa Rican way of life. In fact, for a country that is so vocal about a sustainable future and the protection of the natural environment and wildlife, as well as being the world leaders on renewable energy, I have been quite astonished by some of my findings. I am still waiting to hear back from the Ministry of Environment & Energy, as well as from ICE, as I would like to have the whole picture, and from every angle, before I write my piece - but from the subject matter involved, I am half expecting a no comment. Despite this, I hope to have a reasonably substantial report out next week, so keep checking back to see what I have found out.
As for today, don't expect many blogs out of this tired man, I think a cup of cocoa and bed is in order as it's well over 24 hours since my last nap.
