This short film is about Cloudbridge Nature Reserve, the work that the FXpedition team and the reserve researchers were completing and the wildlife that the newly restored cloud forest is home to.
Whilst in Costa Rica over the summer I was filming the landscapes and wildlife in the time between our survey work. The cloud forests were absolutely stunning and for a place which has been replanted from an ecologically disastrous era of farming, it's extremely impressive. Their efforts have shifted since the success of their reforesting project and whilst the reforesting is still progressing, the team at Cloudbridge are now moving their focus to education. "What we want to see in the future, is having more student groups coming to Cloudbridge - to really give them the chance to learn more about the wildlife that we have here in Costa Rica, but also about reforestation and the importance of the forests. If we can get through to the next generation, people in High Schools, people in Universities, then that will give them a knowledge set with which they will want to look after the forest in years to come." - Frank Spooner, reserve manager.
