5 Great Forests of Mesoamerica launch video


The five great forests are being destroyed at an alarming rate: in the last 15 years, three have been reduced by almost one-quarter in size, with illegal cattle ranching responsible for more than 90 percent of recent deforestation. Recently, WCS's Jeremy Radachowsky documented this on a trek through part of the region.


At the COP25 meetings in Madrid, Central American governments, Indigenous Peoples, local communities, and NGOs joined together in an alliance to protect the 5 great forests of Mesoamerica.
