History of the station

The Biological Station has a history that we want to ponder here.

The station is located in Bri Bri, a village which the Indigenous name refers to as the capital Capial de Talamanca .

In 1959, the main house of the station was built by an indigenous family near the Volio waterfall and the surrounding land was used as a finca (farm) for the cultivation of food. During this time there was an intact rainforest with a fantastic flora and fauna. Also the film

Unfortunately, in this area, a lot of the trees were cleared and sold. The organization Casa Gaja bought the house with the surrounding land . The reason was the preservation and protection of the surrounding rainforest. The station has now also been enlarged and created with a laboratory and other rooms for accommodation. During this time, Casa Gaja worked with Coredor Biologico, a nature conservation organization, and with the University of Costa Rica, and provided biology students with the station and laboratory for field work and research. at various Naturschutzprojekten.In of this time, Thorsten Tittel, the current president of the organization Redfrogteam Guardianes de la Naturalesa together with Manuel Mittelhammer from the Aikologi, came to the station around the biology students in the determination of reptiles amphibians.
