Wal-Mart Central America recently launched a campaign to raise funds for research and conservation of Cocos Island, a biological sanctuary for researchers, the Mecca of the marine world for divers, and home to 3.5 percent of the Earth's aquatic biodiversity.
The campaign raised more than $94,000 through the purchase of stickers that showcase the different types of marine life around the Costa Rican island. The money will be used toward more effective park management and scientific research.
