Tropical Desertification on the Periphery Of the Las Baulas National Marine Park |

Thursday, 13 December 2007 |
 (JFS) In a country that is acclaimed for it's vast biodiversity, it is appalling some of the environmentally destructive construction practices that are allowed. Especially when these practices are condoned right up to the edge of a National Park in Costa Rica's most popular tourist destination.
Costa Rica seems steadfastly determined to turns it's unspoiled natural resources into a Miami or Cancun style development completely lacking one iota of infrastructure --- dumb, dumber & dumbest.

In view of the fact these lands are in the public domain of the
Maritime zone, it is absolutely incomprehensible that the complete
annihilation of every last bit of our native flora & fauna on this
piece of property serves the best interest of the general public in any manner whatsoever. To virtually all long time residents, the
indiscriminate “Clear Cutting” of all trees and other species prior to
construction is asinine to say the least in a country that proclaims to
protect the environment and to ecologically minded!.

To add insult to injury and further demonstrate their ineptitude and
Cro-Magnon intelligence quotient, this project proposes to build yet
another commercial center and an 11-story condominium tower! In view
of the fact that there is an oversupply of both condos and store
fronts, it is also obvious that supply and demand rate the same degree
of importance as the words ecology and environment. We truly have a
situation of “the blind leading the blind” when we have development for
evelopment sake and both the economic feasibility and environmental
degradation are of absolutely no concern.
