THE WILD HEART OF THE AMERICAS Bridging the Americas and dividing the oceans, this narrow strip of land is cut with rivers, spiked with peaks and draped in green. Though it makes up just .003% of the world’s landmass, it is home to a staggering 5% of all the Earth’s biodiversity packed into its jungles, rivers, and reefs. At its heart are tropical forests overrun with troops of raucous clamoring monkeys, and colorful birds flitting through the canopy. Its mountain streams and spring-fed pools all lead the way to an ocean rife with color, coral, and life. To enter it is to discover a land where tropical wildness still reigns above all else.
