AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Wildlife Protection: Costa Rica’s constitutional court backed the fight against howler monkey electrocutions from power lines, holding agencies accountable and ordering infrastructure changes in Nosara after cases surged. Public Safety & Environment: Researchers say development and tourism are pushing more animals into contact with lines, and they’re urging broader fixes like insulated cables and safer crossings. Beach Access Clash: Garabito’s crews removed a barrier tied to Punta Leona’s Playa Blanca access, triggering police confrontations and detentions as the dispute over public road access remains tangled. Migration & Work Rights: Costa Rica reactivated a special temporary regularization category for Cubans, plus Nicaraguans, Venezuelans and Colombians, letting eligible people work legally starting Sept. 1, 2026. Organized Crime Crackdown: President Laura Fernández says new legislation is coming with tougher penalties for landowners tied to clandestine drug airstrips. Economy Watch: The dollar exchange rate has ticked back up above 460 colones, with analysts linking the move to international tensions. Tourism Tips: Foreign visitors are being warned about a voluntary 6% card fee via dynamic currency conversion—decline it and pay in colones.
