This American author has now spent four decades being involved in Costa Rica's terrestrial and marine habitats, documenting the challenges and triumphs of his attempts to make an environmentally conscious and sustainable living in this paradise. Jon Marañón offers a unique first-person account of nature and persons in conflict and the difficulties of meshing human existence into the recently pristine coastal rainforests of Costa Rica.
His work promotes reader awareness of the natural environment, wildlife, ecosystems, and socioculture of this remote area of Costa Rica. Ecology and spirituality intertwine as he describes his journey in a mix of naturalist and lyrical prose that, along with humor and introspection, mark the style of The Gringo's Hawk.
The Gringo's Hawk represents the culmination of Mr. Marañón's social struggles and the roles he has played in conservation, education, social well-being, and in establishing national parks and marine reserves in his area.
This young, blond, blue-eyed college dropout became a Latin American landowner and patrón. He tried numerous schemes to make a living off the land and became a significant observer of both the environmental and social changes in Costa Rica. Marañón listened to local elders tell tales about them, and he passes on some of these and other tales to readers.
The Gringo's Hawk represents the culmination of Mr. Marañón's social struggles and the roles he has played in marine biology conservation and in establishing national parks and marine reserves in his area.
Marañón, almost as a sideline, has had a long-time fascination with whales and worked with scientists and researchers to establish an entirely new understanding of the migratory habits of Northern and Southern hemisphere humpback whales. At the time of publication of The Gringo's Hawk this research is ongoing.
