Howler’s October cover story takes you to Costa Rica’s Pacific coast, where the black sand beach of Ostional is one of the world’s largest nesting sites for olive ridley turtles. Learn about the miraculous spectacle of arribada — Spanish for “arrival,” when hundreds of thousands of nesting females return to the same place they have every year, leaving behind up to 10 million eggs when they head back out to sea.
This month’s “creature feature” brings you more wildlife wonders, up close and personal, in images and videos captured using camera traps. You can also learn about an important sloth conservation initiative known as SloCo. Our ACE spotlight is aimed at musician Tony Putaggio and artist Oubaïda Azzouz. The CR Biz section includes a status report on legalizing marijuana in Costa Rica.
