AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Deep-Sea Discovery: Scientists have described a new “ghost shark” species, Rhinochimaera costaricana, from deep waters off Costa Rica, creating a new coral family after DNA and physical traits didn’t fit known groups. Conservation & Climate Tech: Costa Rica’s mangrove restoration push in Golfo Dulce has planted 12,000 seedlings, with early survival estimates around 75–80%, aiming to rebuild coastal protection and habitat. Ecological Restoration (Coffee Waste): A Costa Rica study found coffee pulp can regenerate degraded pasture fast—trees covered over 80% of treated land in two years, boosting soil nutrients and moisture. Biodiversity & Geotourism: Costa Rica is renewing efforts to get Chirripó recognized as its first UNESCO Global Geopark, tying geology research and education to sustainable tourism. Health & Aging Research: A Latin America lifestyle program study reported improved cognition in older adults after culturally adapted coaching, combining activity, diet, cognitive training, and social support. Housing Affordability: A Costa Rica study says 81.4% of renter households face major barriers to formal mortgage financing due to income vs. home prices.
