Development of Forest and Africulture Areas in Central Continental America

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In Central America (Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama) the state and development of agricultural and forest land areas were researched over the past 23 years (1990-2012) to analyze changes in land ownership rights. The forestation of the 52,228 hectares in Central America decreased by 12.8%; from 49.2% to 36.4%. Agricultural lands in Central America grew by 1.9%; from 33.7% to 35.6%. All of the countries were studied to calculate the total amount of deforestation which had occurred. The countries were divided into 2 groups based on their percentage of landmass denoted as forest lands. El Salvador, Guatemala, and Nicaragua all held forestation amounts below 45%. Belize, Costa Rica, Honduras and Panama each had forestation amounts above 45%. In regards to agricultural land use, all Central American countries saw growth with agricultural lands except for Costa Rica, which saw a decrease by 7%. The greatest decrease in forestation was recorded in Honduras, in which during the 23 year period the decline was almost a half of the whole forested area. The redistribution of land was not the same in every country of Central America, but some similarities were found. The similarities can most likely be attributed to political coups, expropriations, and the fact that land redistribution had never actually happened.
