hi Mateo and Jam
Thanks for taking the time to share your personal perspectives about your projects in Central America. I think if I remember the expression correctly, something like, "Don't let the best be the enemy of the good." I am inspired by your visions and by actions you have taken for preservation. I had a similar vision that I attempted to build in Nicaragua five years ago. I was proud that we did not cut down the huge, old trees and planted many thousands of trees. Eventually after I sold the property the next owner (Nicaraguan) immediately cut down all those large trees and even the 1-year-old forestry planting, to have fenceposts and pasture.
Anyone who can overcome the formidable obstacles to protect nature for a time is a hero.
For me part of the question that inspired the discussion topic, and that remains open, is whether a development can be both ecologically/socially constructive, and also profitable.
