Abstract
The Costa Rican Government, the World Bank and the Global Environment Facility developed a partnership to improve sustainable forest management practices on privately owned small parcels of land. It will conserve biodiversity, improve water quality irrigation, and add to carbon sequestration. Approximately US$49 million in loans from the World Bank and the Global Environment Facility are available for the project.
