 * Deforestation in Costa Rica

Evaluate the drafted changes
This is a hard article and draft to review, as the article is short and the draft hasn't been started yet. Instead, I reviewed the proposed edits. In the proposed edits, the author says there is no data on the rate of deforestation before 1997, but in the article the rates date back to 1977 so I'm assuming this is just a typo. It is a good idea still to try to find sources before this date and include that data in the article. I also saw the point about the article saying corruption is lower in Costa Rica than in other Latin American countries. This point seemed very out of place, bias, and unsubstantiated. I agree with the editor that it needs to be removed. A section that detailed how deforestation in Costa Rica has effected the surrounding indigenous community would help give the article credibility.
