A juice company dumped orange peels in a national park in Costa Rica , free of charge, in a heavily grazed, largely deforested area nearby.

The site was left untouched and largely unexamined for over a decade .

Researchers from Princeton University studied the site over the course of the following three years .

Researchers found a tayra (a dog-sized weasel) and a giant fig tree three feet in diameter, on the plot.

The sign has been buried for 19 years thanks to two scientists and the rind of an unassuming fruit.

The science fair winner is taking on global drought using oranges and avocados.

"It's a big honking sign," Choi says of the sign in California .
