            mesoamerica: the guardians


            of the forest





            Some 5 million years ago, Central America rose

            above sea level to create a natural bridge
            between the northern and southern parts of the
            American continent.

            Fragmented and threatened by intensive logging, these
            forests must be allowed to grow back and connect again.
            This can only be done with the help of their faithful allies –
            the animals that live within them.
