AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Public Health: Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula was rattled by a magnitude 5.0 earthquake near Sitio Sirena, with OVSICORI reporting no injuries or damage and only routine monitoring afterward. Wildlife & Energy Safety: Costa Rica is moving to protect howler monkeys from electrocution after a constitutional court ruling, as power lines keep killing primates that mistake them for trees. Environment & Research: Scientists are testing a better way to judge forest recovery in Costa Rica by “listening” to ecosystem sound, since satellite tree cover can miss whether wildlife and insects are truly back. Local Tech & Business: Costa Rica’s medtech sector is pushing into higher-value work, with CINDE highlighting a shift toward AI-led healthcare, R&D, and advanced manufacturing. Startup Push: Costa Rica launched LEAPCR, an IDB-backed program to accelerate startups, attract investment, and create jobs. Digital Life: A UCR study finds Facebook still dominates in Costa Rica, while TikTok is the fastest-growing social network.
