Rainforest Publications' Fold-Out Pocket Field Guides are designed to slip into your pocket so that you can easily access our field guides and identify the flora and fauna you see while on your walks, hikes, and excursions through Costa Rica.

The illustrations on this fold-out field guide from Rainforest Publications were created by Costa Rican artist, Enrique C. Leal, who has worked as an illustrator in the design of informative and educational material for the National Board of Health and who has worked as a scientific illustrator for INBIO (Institute for Biological Diversity).
