DR. RENÉ CASTRO SALAZAR
MINISTER OF ENVIRONMENT AND ENERGY
COSTA RICA C. A.

2013
SOME YEARS AGO THIS WAS THE REALITY

It went from 75% of the country with forest in 1940 to 21% in
1987. Reversing deforestation seemed impossible ...

MEETING ON FOREST POLICY WITH HEADS OF FORESTRY ADMINISTRATIONS OF THE MENA COUNTRIES
THE WORLD'S TROPICAL FORESTS SHOULD INCREASE
IS IT POSSIBLE THE SALVATION OF TROPICAL FORESTS
FROM VIRTUAL EXTINCTION?

Estimates cite an annual cost of $5-6 billion to replicate Costa Rica’s
PES system over the tropical belt and realize an increase in forest
coverage in those countries.
STUDY CONFIRMS ECONOMIC POTENTIAL
CONSERVATION IN COSTA RICA
• In 2009 protected areas generated US$1.5
billion according to a study of CINPE
• These areas provide ecological, economic
and social services.
• This is reflected in two primary activities:
tourism,

with US$ 1.080 billion (70.% of contributions),

and hydroelectric generation,

with US$0.5 billion (26%).

SUSTAINABLE BIODIVERSITY
FUND (FBS)
Is a patrimony incorporating financial resources to assure long-term
payment for environmental services in areas of high biodiversity.
70 000 contribution members in 2013

Instrument of Banco Nacional, which latter
institution directs 10%of its commission to
the FBS.

BN-Ecomarchamo is a voluntary emission
mitigating program introduced by the SBF valid
for a one-year compensation of average
emission per vehicle

PETECHIA SETOPHAGA “REINITAS” PROTECT COFFEE
CULTIVATION IN COSTA RICA

These birds reduce by about half the beetle infestation
Hypothenemus hampeiby,
to make a coffee plantation medium size save up to $ 9,400
in crop per year, an amount almost equal to the average per
capita income in Costa Rica.
