Description / Abstract
The impacts of ecotourism on wildlife are seldom studied, and the popularization of ecotourism may have unintended consequences for wildlife. Using camera trap data from a well-used trail in the Savegre Valley of Costa Rica, I compared the relative abundance and activity patterns of humans and wildlife during time periods of 2019 versus 2020, when international tourism was prohibited due to the global Coronavirus pandemic. Human group size and abundance declined in 2020, and relative abundance of domestic dogs increased. Overall, the abundance and activity of wildlife was little changed in 2020 except for coyote, which changed activity patterns and reduced in group size.
