Un colono suizo en la ribera de Sarapiquí

Abstract: A partir de setiembre de 1869, recién establecido como colono agrícola en la ribera del río Sarapiquí, en Costa Rica, Léonce Pictet remitió a su familia, en Suiza, seis cartas en las que detalla sus vivencias en ese sitio. Fueron publicadas con el título Un colon genevois sous les tropiques (Un colono ginebrino en los trópicos) en el Journal de Genève (Diario de Ginebra), entre diciembre de 1869 y mayo de 1870. Aunque fueron traducidas por el diplomático Manuel María Peralta, y publicadas en 1871-1872 en el pe… Show more

“…Nonetheless, we documented at least 2 hot spots in which recent sawfish sightings or captures were more common than in other areas: the TSNW in the South Pacific and the San Juan river watershed in the northern region. Sawfish had a broader distribution in the country than previously understood, including a wide range of freshwater, brackish, inshore and offshore habitats not previously reported as sawfish occurrence areas by Thorson (1976Thorson ( , 1982a, Winemiller (1983), Chicas-Batres (1995), Bussing (1998) and Hilje & Fournier (2017). These results highlight that some areas of Costa Rica may need special attention and that additional conservation efforts on key estuarine and freshwater habitats are needed in order to assist in recovery of populations of this critically endangered species.…”

“…However, most of the information available on the species is from research expedi-tions conducted in the 1970s and 1980s and is restricted to a few locations in the northern region (San Juan-Colorado river) and the Caribbean (Thorson 1976(Thorson , 1982a. The species has also been reported in the North, Central and South Pacific regions (Winemiller 1983, Chicas-Batres 1995, Bussing 1998, with additional sightings in some of the main tributaries of the San Juan river (Bussing 1998), including a report from the Sarapiquí river by a Swiss settler in 1869 (Hilje & Fournier 2017). Although some interviews in the South Pacific region from 2004 and 2011 suggest that the Corcovado National Park and Térraba-Sierpe National Wetlands (TSNW) may still hold viable populations, fishers from Gulf Dulce (South Pacific region) claim they have not seen a sawfish in decades (Kyne et al 2013).…”

“…Juan Braun (1824-1880) era farmacéutico, y tuvo una botica en San José, además de que enseñó latín, geografía e historia en la Universidad de Santo Tomás, la primera en el país; se casó con Elena Bonilla Carrillo, con quien procreó siete hijas y un hijo. Aficionado a la naturaleza, acompañó a Hoffmann en su ascenso al volcán Barva, y en 1864 organizó una expedición al volcán Turrialba, de la cual escribió un amplio relato (Hilje, 2008).…”

“…Desde ese lugar envió varias cartas a su familia, en las que narraba sus aventuras en ese paraje silvestre, las cuales fueron publicadas con el título "Lettres d'un colon genevois sous les Tropiques" ["Cartas de un colono ginebrino en los trópicos"] en el Journal de Genève, pero eso no lo convierte en naturalista. En años recientes dichas cartas fueron publicadas en un solo documento, con anotaciones explicativas (Hilje & Fournier, 2017).…”
