Along Costa Rica’s once remote south Pacific coast, a crisis looms. The access to potable water, one of the most basic of human rights, is in jeopardy. Unplanned development has parceled coastal mountains and rainforest, unleashing a cycle of erosion and pollution that gravely threatens the Parque Nacional Marino Ballena, Latin America’s first marine park, and the region’s sustainable tourism-based economy. In this film, learn about one small community’s inspiring struggle to organize and fight to defend its access to clean, dependable drinking water.

In this scene we are introduced to the people of Uvita, the amazing biodiveristy that calls it home, and the watershed they all share.
