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

Tim Treuer found the sign under a thicket of vines in 2015 .

Treuer , with the help of the paper's senior author, David Wilcove , and Princeton Professor Rob Pringle , finally found it.

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