Fundación ProSur
Research
Social
and Biological Research
The ProSur Foundation is fully committed to support advanced research in the social and the biological sciences as
means to increase knowledge
about the region's social
condition and
nature. This region of Costa Rica is one of
the least
studied yet, it has
one of the most diverse populations of the country, and
most of the
best preserved rain forests.
Anthropological Research. Southwestern Costa Rica is home to two important indigenous peoples, the Boruca and the Gnobe. The Borucas have lived in the same community before the arrival of the Spanish Conquistadores in 1519. The Gnobes are devided into two different linguistic groups and live accross the Costa Rica-Panama border. They live in more than 8 different reservations and communities and continue to hold to their language and most of
their
traditions.
In addition, this region have experienced in
influx of inmigrants from Colombia, Panama, Honduras,
Nicaragua, the
Guanacaste Region and lately from the Central Valley,
during the last
400 years. The ethnic and cultural background of
most of the
inhabitants is as diverse as the number of communities,
however very
little has been studied, about the many different
traditions different
communities have. Current research in
the social
sciences focus on the Cultural Mapping of the Borucas,
and a diagnostic of the performing arts in the Zona Sur.
In addition, a Survey of the Arts in the Zona Sur is currently conducted with the support of the ProArtes Program of the Teatro Melico Salazar, Ministerio de Cultura.

Biological Research. There are thousands of research opportunities in Southwestern Costa Rica. From the Pacific Ocean, to the Golfo Dulce, to the rain forest, our faculty requires your support to continue their advanced research. You can support research in the areas of mammalogy, and marine biology. For instance, some of the current research is conducted with two species, Artiveus watsoni, and Thyroptera tricolor, both by Dr. Chaverri, and Dr. Gillam, in addition M. Buchalski (Doctoral student from W. Michigan Univ.) is conducting his own research.
