Organization for Tropical Studies

The Organization for Tropical Studies (OTS) is a not-for-profit consortium of more than sixty universities and scientific institutions in the U.S., Latin America, Australia, and South Africa. OTS was founded in 1963 to provide leadership in education, research, and the responsible use of natural resources in the tropics. The three field stations owned by OTS in Costa Rica are situated in three dramatically different habitats, each with its distinctive flora and fauna. Every year thousands of researchers, students, and natural history visitors contribute to the ever-expanding base of knowledge of these critical tropical ecosystems.
