What we do ?

​

The Black Headed Bushmaster Conservation Project is a program held by

CRWILD and the Bushmaster Conservation Project.

​

This effort constitutes an important step towards 

understanding and protecting this rare and enigmatic species in its natural habitat,

the Southern Pacific region of Costa Rica.

​

Only a group of passionate naturalists could develop such a project, devoted to protect and study their favorite snake genus: Lachesis.

​

This project is based in the middle of the primary rainforests

of the Península de Osa, Costa Rica.
