protection laws for critical areas.
COSTA RICA’S REFORESTATION
SUCCESS

Costa Rica is a global success in


protecting forests and biodiversity. 25%
of the country is protected, generating
income through eco-tourism and aiming
for carbon neutrality. Costa Rica reversed
deforestation by implementing strict land
conservation laws and payment for
ecosystem services. Forest cover
increased from 26% in 1983 to over 50%
by 2020. The country also aims to be
carbon neutral by 2050.
