Can you describe the sound of one of the oldest and largest rainforest trees crashing down as it reverberates throughout the jungle?
What is the sound of animals fleeing for for their lives?
Do we even know how many plants and animal species are destroyed when a virgin rainforest is exploited?
IN COSTA RICA IT IS LEGAL TO CUT DOWN UP TO 60% OF THE TREES THAT ARE AT LEAST 60 cm (24 inches) DIAMETER IN VIRGIN RAINFORESTS (according to the Ministry of Environment - MINAE). However, as the representative of MINAE states, "To find a primary forest without the intervention of humans in the Guatuso or Monterrey areas is very difficult. Most of the area has been intervened, and almost all of the tropical lowland primary forests are gone."
