Deforestation in Central America (original) (raw)
Central American countries have experienced cycles of deforestation and reforestation since the decline of Maya civilization, influenced by many factors such as population growth, agriculture, narcotic distribution and illegal practices. From 2001 to 2010, 5,376 square kilometres (2,076 sq mi) of forest were lost in the region. In 2010 Belize had 63% of remaining forest cover, Costa Rica 46%, Panama 45%, Honduras 41%, Guatemala 37%, Nicaragua 29%, and El Salvador 21%. Most of the loss occurred in the moist forest biome, with 12,201 square kilometers. Woody vegetation loss was partially set off by a plus in the coniferous forest biome with 4,730 km2, and at 2,054 km2. Mangroves and deserts contributed only 1% to the loss in forest vegetation.

| dbo:abstract | Central American countries have experienced cycles of deforestation and reforestation since the decline of Maya civilization, influenced by many factors such as population growth, agriculture, narcotic distribution and illegal practices. From 2001 to 2010, 5,376 square kilometres (2,076 sq mi) of forest were lost in the region. In 2010 Belize had 63% of remaining forest cover, Costa Rica 46%, Panama 45%, Honduras 41%, Guatemala 37%, Nicaragua 29%, and El Salvador 21%. Most of the loss occurred in the moist forest biome, with 12,201 square kilometers. Woody vegetation loss was partially set off by a plus in the coniferous forest biome with 4,730 km2, and at 2,054 km2. Mangroves and deserts contributed only 1% to the loss in forest vegetation. The bulk of the deforestation was located at the Caribbean slopes of Nicaragua with a minus of 8,574 square kilometers of forest lost in the period from 2001 to 2010. The most significant regrowth of 3,050 km2 of forest was seen in the coniferous woody vegetation of Honduras. (en) La deforestación es un proceso provocado por la acción de los humanos, en el que se destruye o agota la superficie forestal. Los países centroamericanos han experimentado ciclos de deforestación y reforestación desde el declive de la civilización maya, influenciados por muchos factores, como el crecimiento de la población y la agricultura . De 2001 a 2010, 5376 kilómetros cuadrados (2075,7 mi²) de bosque se perdieron en la región. En 2010, Belice tenía el 63% de la cubierta forestal restante, Costa Rica 46%, Panamá 45%, Honduras 41%, Guatemala 37%, Nicaragua 29% y El Salvador 21%. La mayor parte de la pérdida ocurrió en el bioma del bosque húmedo, con 12,201 kilómetros cuadrados. La pérdida de vegetación leñosa fue parcialmente compensada por un plus en el bioma del bosque de coníferas con 4.730 km 2, y a 2.054 km 2 . Los manglares y los desiertos contribuyeron solo con un 1% a la pérdida de vegetación forestal. La mayor parte de la deforestación se localizó en las laderas caribeñas de Nicaragua, con menos de 8,574 kilómetros cuadrados de bosque perdido en el período de 2001 a 2010. El rebrote más significativo de 3,050 km 2 de bosque fue visto en la vegetación leñosa conífera de Honduras. (es) |
