World Reforestation Example
Forests around the world
decreased 3 percent between 1990
and 2005. However, Costa Rica
was one of the very few
countries that can boast of a
recovery of tree coverage.
The United Nations Food and
Agriculture Organization
included this fact in a report
on the world’s forests printed
in Rome.
The survey acknowledges that
Costa Rica recovered a forest
area amounting to 10 percent of
its land in the last 20 years.
Julio Calvo, from the Costa
Rican Institute of Technology,
added that a survey by the
University of Alberta, Canada,
confirms the Costa Rica success
in increasing the forested
areas.
