Rainforests are some of Earth’s most vulnerable ecosystems, but also some of the most difficult to monitor. With support from SERVIR, experts in Costa Rica are increasingly using radar to see through the clouds that make rainforests so hard to study. What they learn may help guide other countries in the future.
