Strategic Value
This property is a key puzzle pieces in the northward expansion of the Jama-Coaque Reserve. It marks the divide between two river basins. Due to the elevation (1,788 feet above sea level at its highest point), the vegetation sits at the interesting transition zone between Tropical Moist Evergreen Forest and Premontane Cloud Forest. It acquired its name because of numerous ocelot (tigrillo, in Spanish) sightings on the property.
Carbon Benefit
Sponsoring this property today and continuing to conserve it over time has a net carbon benefit equivalent to removing 15 gas-powered cars from the road each year, or the annual energy use of 5 average American homes.
