Costa Rica National Parks Face Threats from Tourism and Budget Cuts
Costa Rica's national parks are struggling with budget cuts, mass tourism, and climate change, which threatens conservation, according to a UNED study.
The country's national parks and protected areas face growing threats from budget shortfalls, surging visitor numbers, and climate shifts, as reported by the Universidad Estatal a Distancia (UNED).
- Budget cuts lead to reduced funding for the National System of Conservation Areas (SINAC), resulting in limited staff and resources.
- Insufficient patrols and monitoring enable increased illegal activities like poaching, logging, and unauthorized land use.
Costa Rica relies heavily on income from park visits, which also supports local economies.
As stated by Allan Fernández, head of conservation policy at UNED, these pressures weaken conservation work and risk the country’s renowned biodiversity.
