Rio Escalante Chacocente Wildlife Refuge
Nicaragua is a diverse and beautiful holiday destination. Its magnificent wildlife and unique natural landscapes of lush forests and rivers, have led to approximately eighty percent of Nicaragua being protected and its fauna and flora cared for by wildlife conservation organizations. The 4 800 acres of coastal beaches and forests of the Rio Escalante Chacocente Wildlife Refuge were put under the protection of the Richland Centre, Community Conservation and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, to study the area and assist in its safe keeping.
