ORGANIZATION FOR TROPICAL STUDIES
|
A non-profit consortium that has grown to include 65 universities
and research institutions from the United States, Latin America
and Australia. In the early 1960's, scientists from U.S.
universities forged working relationships with colleagues at the
Universidad de Costa Rica in the interest of strengthening
education and research in tropical biology. Intense interest both
in the U.S. and Costa Rica led to the founding of OTS in 1963. OTS
conducts graduate and undergraduate education, facilitates
research, participates in tropical forest conservation, maintains
three biological stations in Costa Rica and conducts environmental
education programs.
