A former director of the Osa Conservation Area is facing scrutiny for allowing more tourists into Corcovado National Park. The official defended the decision to increase visitor capacity during a period when fecal matter was leaking into the park's rivers. This justification was presented before the Constitutional Chamber (Sala IV). Critics highlight that the increase in visitor numbers was not supported by any technical justification. The situation underscores a conflict between tourism growth and environmental protection. The case emphasizes the risks posed by inadequate infrastructure in protected areas. Consequently, the official's actions are being questioned regarding the preservation of the ecosystem.
