Abstract

The goal of this article is to characterize the narratives of the Tapir Project (Proyecto Tapir) in relation to the contract annulment between the Ministry of Environment and Energy (Minae) and the Prozoos Organization (FundaZoo) in Costa Rica. The methodological approach is qualitative and with analytical methods by means of semi-structural interviews and the content analysis of one of the social networks and webpage of PT. One of the main findings is the linear narrative of complaints that PT makes in reference to the irregularities in the contract compliance and the deficient operation of the zoos under FundaZoo. In a general conclusion, the narratives of PT are characterized by being easy for all of the public to comprehend.
