Kevin
Regan (U. of Fla.) worked with Costa Rican biology student
Lily Paniagua (CEDARENA) under the auspices of the Corcovado
Foundation and the CR-USA Foundation on a nomination to UNESCO
to designate the Corcovado National Park as a natural world
heritage site under the World Heritage Convention. The project
was based on a proposal drafted by 2001 Program students with
the assistance of UF graduate student Franklin Paniagua and
CEDARENA attorney and University of Costa Rica Program Faculty
Maria Jimenez. The nomination has been approved by the government
of Costa Rica for submission to UNESCO.
