AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoBioprinting: The University of Costa Rica has acquired its first 3D bioprinter, giving researchers new tools to study tissue regeneration, biomaterials and personalized medicine. It is for research, not printing transplantable organs or treating patients. Pesticide Study: Costa Rican cropland uses an estimated 21.91 kilograms of pesticide active ingredients per hectare annually—more than ten times the global average, according to a study. The country’s lower official figure includes managed pasture, where pesticide use is much lower. Manta Research: Tracking off Costa Rica found young oceanic manta rays stay close to shore, while adults travel hundreds of kilometres, sometimes reaching Guatemala. The findings could help guide protections for the endangered species. Sloth Imports: Two Costa Rica-based conservation groups helped shape a bipartisan U.S. bill to ban most imports of live wild sloths. The proposal follows the deaths of 58 sloths brought to a Florida attraction and would allow limited exceptions for accredited zoo breeding programs.
