Parque Internacional La Amistad
Farmers who were already in the park were grandfathered in and allowed to keep farming. The problem is that nobody enforces legislation, meaning that their lands aren’t being monitored, and the farmers can easily overtake park land. The problem is that most of these farmers don’t know anything besides slash-and-burn techniques, which degrades the land within three years. One thing Organization and Partners are trying to do is teach farmers other techniques that are kinder to the land but still yield profitable crops.
