FlagshipChile Case Study: Prepared for FAO as part of the State of the World’s Forests 2016 (SOFO) 2016
Also available in:
No results found.Chile is considered a high-income developing country. For its nearly 18 million people life quality, economic growth, human development, globalization and per capita GDP are among the highest in Latin America. The forest area, including indigenous forest and plantation forest has been increasing by 18,5 % between 1997 and 2014, reaching 15,9 million hectares representing 21 % of Chile total area (75,7 milliones ha). Today’s forest economy is based on private plantations that grew in 17 years from 1,9 million hectares to 2,4 million hectares (INFOR, 2003 y 20141, 20142). An important part of native forests is represented in the State National System of Protected Areas and is administered by CONAF3, with 36 National Parks, 49 National Reserves and 15 Natural Monuments. Over the past 25 years they have established native forest private reserves. About 2/3 of native forest belongs to privates and the rest to the state.Read the full report of the State of the World’s Forests (SOFO) 2016

FlagshipCosta Rica Case Study: Prepared for FAO as part of the State of the World’s Forests 2016 (SOFO) 2016
Also available in:
No results found.Costa Rica since the '50s went through the traditional transition curve that some countries had or are experiencing. From a period in the far past in which there was no deforestation, the reduction of forest areas begun at an increasing rate, reaching a minimum cover around 21% some 30 years ago, followed by a period of increasing rate of forest recovery until finally reaching a stabilization at around 52% of the country area (FRA 2015; SIREFOR 2015). This was at least the most widely accepted t rend a few years ago, but today this is a controversial issue, since different studies sustain different minimums forest covers, from 21 % to 57%. The cause of this process was primarily the migration of population to the rural areas, followed by deforestation to clean land for cattle farming, subsistence production and then to industrial agriculture in some areas.Read the full report of the State of the World’s Forests (SOFO) 2016
