Rainmaker is one of Costa Rica’s most biologically rich ecosystems, home to an extraordinary range of plant and animal species. This thriving rainforest plays a vital role in sustaining ecological balance—not only within its immediate watershed, but across broader regional and global environmental systems.
Endangered and rare wildlife species inhabit Rainmaker, including vibrant birdlife, elusive wildcats, amphibians, and hundreds of butterfly and insect species—making it a crucial sanctuary for conservation efforts.
The forest contains numerous endemic and medicinal plant species, many of which have yet to be fully studied, offering invaluable opportunities for scientific discovery and ecological research.
Rainmaker’s pristine natural springs feed directly into regional waterways, safeguarding water quality and providing essential resources to surrounding communities and wildlife.
Its dense rainforest canopy actively mitigates climate change by capturing significant amounts of carbon, making preservation efforts here globally significant.
