Hacienda Baru at
IX. Conclusion
The Hacienda Barú National Wildlife Refuge plays an important role in the development of the southern Pacific region of Costa Rica. Its importance is not only because of its protection of the ecological balance and biodiversity but also because of its leadership in tourism, communal development, education, and the quality of life of the area. In order to assure that the area continues to develop in a positive healthy manner it is important that everyone in the zone help to protect the natural beauty which is the great attraction to the foreign tourists so important to the economy of the region.
Hacienda Barú doesn’t produce miracles, but it does create opportunities for the community by attracting a large number of ecotourists to the area. The community realizes this more each day and is working hard to protect and expand its natural treasures in order to assure a prosperous future.
Hocus and Pocus - Strange, creeper cats
- By Jack Ewing
When I first laid eyes on the two black kittens a quote from a Robert Heinlein novel popped into my mind,. It has been so many years ago since I read it that I can't even remember which one is was, but I remember the quote. In referring to a complex subject Heinlein said that making sense of it was “... like searching in a dark cellar at midnight on a moonless night for a black cat that isn't there.” These two kittens were that black without a hint of any other color. Even their eyes were black. In addition to their extreme blackness there was always an air of mysteriousness about them. They didn't walk like ordinary cats, rather they walked all crouched down, more of a creep than a walk, like they were constantly stalking something. They never made any noises other than purring; they never clawed the furniture; they were never underfoot and never got into trouble of any kind. There was always something strange about them. We named them Hocus and Pocus.
