Today we visit the Cartwrights in the country of Costa Rica…
Costa Rica
Costa Rica is a lush country in Central America hugged on both sides by warm blue waters. Nearly one-fourth of the country is protected jungle land and is rich with biodiversity. Costa Rica is a country proud of its abundant and rugged land and has taken great steps toward conservation of plant and animal life. As a result, the lines between humanity and nature are often blurred at their green and leafy edges. Even a casual walk through the capital city of San Jose might gift one the sight of flying toucans, rooftop spider-monkeys, or lounging iguanas amidst the already rich and vibrant city life.
Fun Facts
Even though Costa Rica only takes up less than 0.03% of the Earth’s total land mass, it makes up more than a whopping 5% of the planet's total biodiversity! That’s a lot of life in a small place!
Of more than 120 volcanoes in the country, 7 of them are currently active. Arenal Volcano is actually one of the top 10 most active volcanoes on planet Earth!
Devotional
Today’s devotional message comes to us from David Cartwright at Alcance Bible School, where he’ll help us “think globally and act locally.”
