"In 1997, ecologists Daniel Janzen and Winnie Hallwachs approached an orange
juice company in Costa Rica with an off-the-wall idea.
In exchange for donating a portion of unspoiled, forested land to the Área de
Conservación Guanacaste — a nature preserve in the country's northwest — the
park would allow the company to dump its discarded orange peels and pulp, free
of charge, in a heavily grazed, largely deforested area nearby.
One year later, one thousand trucks poured into the national park, offloading
over 12,000 metric tons of sticky, mealy, orange compost onto the worn-out
plot.
The site was left untouched and largely unexamined for over a decade. A sign
was placed to ensure future researchers could locate and study it."
