This well-loved copy of “Mamiferos de Costa Rica = Costa Rica mammals” offers a unique glimpse into the diverse mammalian species found in the lush tropical landscapes of Costa Rica. Written by Grace Wong and Eduardo Carrillo, this bilingual Spanish-English guide is a testament to the country’s rich biodiversity. Despite its worn appearance, the book’s pages likely bear the markings of avid naturalists and researchers who have used it as a field reference, highlighting key details and making notes in the margins. These inscriptions add a layer of history and provenance, making this copy a treasure trove for collectors interested in the study of Central American wildlife.

The book’s subject matter is particularly significant given Costa Rica’s commitment to environmental conservation.

This volume not only serves as a valuable resource for identifying and understanding these creatures but also represents a broader appreciation for the natural wonders that Costa Rica has worked tirelessly to preserve.
