Wolfgang Jansen will present “Costa Rica – Pura Natura

Wolfgang grew up in Germany where he got his first photographic experience using his father’s box camera when visiting the Cologne Zoo as a child. Since 1982 Wolfgang has mostly lived in Canada, attending university and working as a freshwater scientist. In retirement, Wolfgang has continued his travels and photographic excursions within Canada, the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa. His photographic interests include abstract, landscape, wildlife, and the interconnection of people with the environment.

The presentation draws on the experience of two extended independent travels through Costa Rica in 2023 and 2024. The country has been a champion of nature conservation for many decades and boasts a large network of protected areas. Images will showcase the variety of Costa Rica’s ecosystems and their animal life.
